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

backgroundMicroRNAs (miRNAs) play crucial roles in the development of various cancers. Here, we aimed to evaluate the roles of miR-138-5p in lung cancer progression and the value of miR-138-5p in lung cancer diagnosis.

methodsQuantitative real-time PCR was performed to examine the expressions of miR-138-5p and smad nuclear interacting protein 1 (SNIP1) mRNA. The diagnostic value of miR-138-5p was analyzed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, sensitivity, and specificity. We explored the effect of miR-138-5p on cell proliferation and metastasis by CCK-8, colony formation, wound healing and transwell assays. Western blot was employed to detect the protein expression of SNIP1 and related genes. Lung cancer cell growth was evaluated in vivo using xenograft tumor assay.

resultsMiR-138-5p was decreased in the serum of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and in NSCLC cells and tissues. The area under the ROC curve of serum miR-138-5p in the diagnosis of NSCLC was 0.922. This finding indicates the high diagnostic efficiency for lung cancer. MiR-138-5p suppressed but its inhibitor promoted cell proliferation and migration compared with control treatment in vitro and in vivo. MiR-138-5p directly binds to the 3'-untranslated region of SNIP1 and negatively regulated the expression of SNIP1, thereby inhibiting the expression of cyclin D1 and c-Myc. Moreover, overexpression of SNIP1 rescues the miR-138-5p-mediated inhibition in NSCLC cells.

conclusionsThe results suggested that miR-138-5p suppressed lung cancer cell proliferation and migration by targeting SNIP1. Serum miR-138-5p is a novel and valuable biomarker for NSCLC diagnosis.
