1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

objectiveThe objective of this research is to investigate the expression and function of SKA3 in lung adenocarcinoma.

methodsThe mRNA expression level of SKA3 in lung adenocarcinoma and its association with clinic-pathological factors were analyzed using data obtained from the TCGA database. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) for SKA3 (si-SKA3) was used to down-regulate SKA3 in A549 cells. pcDNA3.1- SKA3 was used to overexpress SKA3 in A549 cells. The proliferation ability of A549 cells was determined via MTT assay and colony formation assay. A wound healing assay was performed to examine the migration ability of A549 cells. The protein expression of p-MEK, MEK, p-ERK and ERK were determined by western blot.

resultsWe found that SKA3 is up-regulated in lung adenocarcinoma compared to the normal lung tissues. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that high SKA3 expression is markedly associated with poor prognosis in lung adenocarcinoma patients. SKA3 expression is significantly correlated with age, gender, pathologic-stage, pathologic-N and pathologic-M. Moreover, depleting SKA3 obviously inhibited A549 cell proliferation and migration

conclusionSKA3 expression was enhanced and associated with poor prognosis in lung adenocarcinoma patients, and it might play a facilitating role in cell growth and motility by regulating the MAPK signaling pathway.
