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

microRNA-342-3p plays an important role in tumor occurrence and development. However, the expression pattern and roles of microRNA-342-3p in nonsmall cell lung cancer remain poorly understood. In the current study, we explored the roles and underlying mechanisms of microRNA-342-3p in nonsmall cell lung cancer via gain- and loss-of-function analyses. We used quantitative reverse-transcription-polymerase chain reaction and western blotting assays to measure the expression levels of microRNA-342-3p in nonsmall-cell lung cancer and B-cell lymphoma-2. Furthermore, we used small interfering RNA and RNA mimics to analyze the functions and underlying mechanisms of microRNA-342-3p in nonsmall cell lung cancer cells. A luciferase reporter assay was performed to evaluate the direct binding site of the 5'-untranslated region of B-cell lymphoma-2 targeted by microRNA-342-3p. We found that the expression of microRNA-342-3p was significantly lower in nonsmall cell lung cancer cells and tissues than in normal cells and tissues. The upregulation of microRNA-342-3p suppressed cell proliferation while promoting apoptosis in H1975, H460, and H226 cells. The overexpression of microRNA-342-3p in nonsmall cell lung cancer cells led to the downregulation of mRNA and protein levels in B-cell lymphoma-2 cells. Thus, B-cell lymphoma-2 was identified as a direct target of microRNA-342-3p. These findings indicate that microRNA-342-3p inhibits the growth of nonsmall cell lung cancer by repressing the expression of B-cell lymphoma-2, which suggests that microRNA-342-3p could be a potential target for the treatment of nonsmall cell lung cancer.
