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

backgroundLung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is a malignant tumor with a high fatality rate and poor overall survival, while molecular targets diagnosing and alleviating lung cancer remain inadequate.

methodsIn this article, we highlighted the upregulation of microRNA-423-3p (miR-423-3p) in LUAD, especially in smokers aged over 40, and revealed that the high expression of miR-423-3p was significantly associated with smoker, age, and pathologic stage of LUAD patients.

resultsMoreover, overexpressing miR-423-3p could facilitate LUAD cell proliferation, invasion, adhesion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process, while depleted miR-423-3p caused repressive influence upon it. Mechanically, we identified that miR-423-3p could activate FAK signaling pathway through binding to the 3'-UTR of cytochrome B reductase 1 (CYBRD1). Furthermore, we demonstrated that CYBRD1 was lowly expressed in LUAD, and miR-423-3p overexpression could rescue the impairment of LUAD cell proliferation, invasion, adhesion, and EMT caused by CYBRD1 depletion. Noticeably, miR-423-3p depletion efficiently hindered LUAD tumor growth in vivo.

conclusionCollectively, our findings demonstrated that miR-423-3p/CYBRD1 axis could be regarded as a promising biomarker to alleviate the poor LUAD prognosis.
