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

purposeResearch in this article was performed to explore the biological role and clinical significance of Krüppel-like transcription factor 6 (KLF6) in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

methodsKLF6 expression in NSCLC cell lines was analyzed using reverse transcription PCR and Western blot. The expressed KLF6 protein was examined in 50 surgical NSCLC tissues using immunohistochemistry. Statistical analyses were employed for clinical association examinations. CCK8 assay and Annexin V/PI analysis were used to execute cell proliferation and apoptosis in KLF6-overexpression cell lines and the control groups. Cleaved caspase-3 expression was also detected in KLF6-overexpression cells and NSCLC tissues. KLF6 expression correlation with cleaved caspase-3 was also examined.

resultsIt was discovered that downregulation of KLF6 was seen in human NSCLC cell lines. Low KLF6 expression in NSCLC tissues was correlated with poor patient prognosis (

conclusionsThe results indicate that downregulation of KLF6 is a significant NSCLC progression marker. KLF6 prevents cell growth and promotes cell apoptosis, possibly caspase-3 activations.
