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

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a major type of lung cancer. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), represented by gefitinib (Gef), are targeted drugs used for the treatment of NSCLC. However, NSCLC patients often develop resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors, which limits their efficacy. Homeobox gene HOXC6 is dysregulated in many cancers and contributes to chemoresistance in cancer cells. However, the role and mechanism of HOXC6 in the development of Gef resistance in NSCLC remains unclear. In the present study, we found that HOXC6 was highly expressed in Gef-resistant NSCLC cells. Further experiments showed that silencing of HOXC6 ameliorated Gef resistance in PC9/G cells whereas overexpression of HOXC6 promoted Gef resistance in PC9 cells. HOXC6 influenced Gef sensitivity in NSCLC cells by regulating cell proliferation, colony formation, cell apoptosis, cell cycle, cell mobility and other related signaling molecules or pathways. HOXC6 was also found to be a direct target of miR-27a. As expected, overexpression of miR-27a ameliorated Gef resistance by inhibiting HOXC6 expression
