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

aimMicroRNAs have been confirmed as vital regulators in gene expression, which could affect multiple cancer cell biological behaviors. This study aims to elucidate the molecular mechanism of miR-144-3p in lung cancer cellular proliferation and metastasis.

methodsMiR-144-3p expression in lung cancer tissues and cell lines was detected by qRT-PCR. HGF was predicted as the target gene of miR-144-3p using TargetScan and dual luciferase reporter assay. Immunohistochemistry and qRT-PCR were used to explore the impacts of HCF on lung cancer tissues and cell lines. Impacts of miR-144-3p and HGF on cancer cellular proliferation, migration and invasion were elucidated by CCK-8, Flow cytometry, Transwell invasion and Wound-healing assay. Moreover, nude mouse xenograft model was established to evaluate the effects of miR-144-3p on lung cancer cells.

resultsMiR-144-3p exhibited a reduction in both lung cancer tissues and cell lines. HGF was a direct target of miR-144-3p. In contrast to the miR-144-3p expression level, HGF showed a higher level in lung cancer tissues and cell lines. Overexpression miR-144-3p suppressed A549 and NCI-H1299 cell proliferation and metastasis, whereas this was reversed by HGF. MiR-144-3p exhibited an inhibitory effect on A549 cell-induced tumor growth of nude mice.

conclusionsThis study reveals miR-144-3p/HGF axis may be involved in the suppression of lung cancer cellular proliferation and development, and miR-144-3p may function as a potential therapeutic target in lung cancer treatment in the future.
