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

It has bene reported that a novel saponin-notoginsenoside R1 (NGR1) possesses strong anti-tumor activities. This study aimed to investigate the role and mechanism of NGR1 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). NSCLC cell viability, proliferation, migration, and invasiveness were assessed using the ex vivo assays. NSCLC xenograft mouse models were constructed to confirm the role of NGR1 in vivo. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related proteins and key markers in the JAK2/STAT3 pathway were examined using immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry analyses. NGR1 treatment suppressed NSCLC cell growth ex vivo and in vivo. It also decreased the migratory and invasive capacities of NSCLC cells. Additionally, NGR1 increased E-cadherin expression and reduced N-cadherin, vimentin, and snail expression in TGF-β1-treated NSCLC cells and xenograft tumors. JAK2/STAT3 pathway was inhibited by NGR1. Moreover, a specific inhibitor of JAK2, AG490, or STAT3 silencing significantly enhanced the effects of NGR1 against the EMT process in NSCLC cells. NGR1 restrains EMT process in NSCLC by inactivating JAK2/STAT3 signaling, suggesting the potential of NGR1 in anti-NSCLC therapy.
