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

Lung cancer is the most common malignancy and leading cause of cancer-related death. Sufentanil is a commonly used opioid anesthetic in clinics. This study aimed to explore the effects of sufentanil on the malignant behavior of lung cancer cells. H460 and H1299 lung cancer cell lines were selected for in vitro experiments. The MTT assay was conducted to detect cell viability. Proliferation ability was determined by colony formation and EdU assays. Transwell assays were performed to measure migration and invasion abilities. Western blotting was used to detect the expression of related proteins. LiCl was used to activate the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Sufentanil decreased the proliferation, migration, and invasion of H460 and H1299 cells. The protein expression levels of vimentin, N-cadherin, β-catenin, c-Myc, and MMP2 were downregulated, while those of E-cadherin and ZO-1 were upregulated after sufentanil treatment. LiCl treatment reversed the effects of sufentanil on H460 and H1299 cells. Sufentanil inhibited the proliferation, migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of lung cancer cells by regulating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.
