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

backgroundSmall cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a devastating and aggressive neuroendocrine carcinoma characterized by high cellular proliferation and early metastatic spread. Numerous studies have demonstrated that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) can regulate tumor generation and development, including in SCLC. The current study aimed to assess the effect of the lncRNA, KCNQ1OT1, on the proliferation, apoptosis, and chemoresistance of SCLC and the potential underlying molecular mechanism.

methodsMatched chemo-resistant and sensitive cells were applied to RNA isolation and followed by expression profiling by microarray analysis and subsequent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) validation. Cell viability and apoptosis were determined by Cell Counting Kit-8 and flow cytometry to examine the chemoresistance and apoptosis of KCNQ1OT1 knockdown with lentivirus-mediated RNA interference. Furthermore, cell proliferation was studied by colony formation, and invasion and migration were tested by Transwell cell invasion and wound-healing assays, respectively. A tumor xenograft model was established to determine the role of KCNQ1OT1 in tumor growth and chemoresistance in response to KCNQ1OT1 knockdown

resultsHigher expression of KCNQ1OT1 was detected in SCLC chemo-resistant verso chemo-sensitive cells. Knockdown of KCNQ1OT1 inhibited SCLC cell viability and cloning ability, hindered cell migration and invasion, induced apoptosis

conclusionsThis is the first study to indicate that lncRNA KCNQ1OT1 promotes cell proliferation and invasion, and prevents apoptosis of SCLC by activating the JAK2/STAT3 pathway.
