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

Numerous studies have suggested that non-coding RNAs mediate tumorigenesis via the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). However, whether the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) HOXA transcript at the distal tip (HOTTIP) plays a role in the EMT of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) remains unclear. The results of the present study suggest that HOTTIP-knockdown may lead to a significant increase in E-cadherin expression and a decrease in vimentin (VIM) expression; these proteins are two key markers of EMT. Furthermore, a notable morphological change in SCLC cells with HOTTIP-knockdown was observed: After upregulation of microRNA (miR)-574-5p, the cells exhibited a long, fusiform morphology. Investigating these phenomena further revealed that HOTTIP may participate in EMT by binding to miR-574-5p. In addition, using bioinformatics technology and a dual luciferase reporter assay, it was found that miR-574-5p inhibited VIM expression via direct binding and interaction. In summary, the present results indicate that HOTTIP may be involved in the EMT of SCLC by binding to miR-574-5p, and that miR-574-5p may act through VIM, which is a key marker of EMT.
