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

objectiveMicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a big role in the regulation of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) development. The objective of this study is to determine how DNA methylation regulates miR-433 in NSCLC.

methodsThe degree of DNA methylation was determined, and the relevance of miR-433 and the features of NSCLC patients were assessed. The MiR-433 and CREB1 expressions were tested, and the biological characteristics of the NSCLC cells were determined. Subcutaneous tumorigenesis in nude mice and luciferase activity assays were performed.

resultsMiR-433 was downregulated, and CREB1 was upregulated in the NSCLC tissues, and the methylating rate of the C-phosphate-G (CpG) island in the miR-433 promoter region was enhanced. MiR-433 was also downregulated, and CREB1 was upregulated in the NSCLC cells and there was a low degree of promoter methylation of miR-433 in the NSCLC cells after demethylation. Upregulated miR-433 or downregulated CREB1 repressed the cell vitality and colony formation abilities and increased the amount of apoptotic A549 cells. Moreover, upregulated miR-433 also decelerated tumor growth. Conversely, the H460 cells and xenografts with reduced miR-433 or overexpressed CREB1 had contrary results. CREB1 was found to be targeted by miR-433, as verified by a luciferase activity assay.

conclusionWe found that DNA methylation can downregulate miR-433 in NSCLC, which promotes the malignant behaviors of NSCLC cells.
