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

Background: Treatments for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have improved tremendously, but therapeutic resistance is a common and major clinical challenge in treatment. Methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) is a ribonucleic acid (RNA) methyltransferase that has crucial functions in the development and progression of cancers, including drug resistance, by regulating N6-methyladenosine (m Methods: The expression levels of METTL3 and AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 (AKT1) in NSCLC tissues were detected using quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR), Western blots, and immunohistochemical assays. The m Results: The expression levels of METTL3 and the AKT1 protein were significantly increased in NSCLC tissues, and m6A expression levels of AKT1 mRNA were dramatically upregulated in NSCLC tissues. Additionally, METTL3, AKT1 protein, and m Conclusions: Taken together, our results indicate that METTL3 contributes to the progression and chemoresistance of NSCLC by promoting AKT1 protein expression through regulating AKT1 mRNA m6A levels, and may provide an efficient therapeutic intervention target for overcoming chemoresistance in NSCLC.
