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

The role of the integrin family in malignancy has received increasing attention. Many studies have confirmed that ITGB4 could activate multiple signal pathways and promote cell migration in various cancers. However, the regulatory role of integrin β4 (ITGB4) in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is still unclear. Examination of the expression or survival analysis of ITGB4 in cells, pathological samples, and bioinformatics lung adenocarcinoma databases showed ITGB4 was highly expressed in LUAD and significantly associated with poor prognosis. Small interfering RNA and plasmids were performed to investigate the effect of changes in ITGB4 expression on lung adenocarcinoma. Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) inhibitor defactinib was used to further explore the molecular mechanism of ITGB4. The results showed depletion of ITGB4 inhibited migration and activation of FAK signaling pathways in lung adenocarcinoma cells. Moreover, increased ITGB4 expression activated FAK signaling and promoted cell migration, which can be reversed by defactinib. In addition, ITGB4 could interact with FAK in lung adenocarcinoma cells. ITGB4 may promote cell migration of lung adenocarcinoma through FAK signaling pathway and has the potential to be a biomarker for lung adenocarcinoma.
