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

purposeTyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) targeting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) improve the prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). However, the factors affecting its clinical efficacy remain unclear. This study aimed to determine the correlation between Osteopontin (OPN) and EGFR, and explore the inhibitory effect of first-generation TKI gefitinib on LUAD cells.

methodsThe correlation between OPN and EGFR was determined through bioinformatics technology, and the clinical information as well as samples of related patients were collected to verify the relationship between them. Using three different NSCLC cell lines A549, H1299 and PC9, we studied the effects of OPN expression and EGFR phosphorylation on the first-generation TKI's efficacy in vitro.

resultsOur data revealed that OPN staining positively linked to a more advanced clinical stage. Compared with the control group, LUAD cells with elevated OPN levels are more sensitive to the growth inhibitory effect of TKI. Knocking down of OPN decreased the response of cells to gefitinib. Besides, OPN also upregulated the phosphorylation of EGFR, thereby affecting the effect of TKI.

conclusionOPN enhanced the sensitivity of LUAD cells to gefitinib by promoting EGFR phosphorylation. OPN may be a potential target for evaluating TKI efficacy and a potential target for molecular therapy.
