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

5-Hydroxytryptamine receptors (5-HTRs) are strongly correlated with tumor progression in various types of cancer. Despite this, the underlying mechanisms responsible for the role of 5-HTRs in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 3A (HTR3A) and NSCLC development. Our findings indicated a higher distribution of HTR3A expression in NSCLC tissues when compared with normal tissues, where patients with high HTR3A levels demonstrated shorter overall survival times. In vitro analyses revealed that overexpression of HTR3A facilitated the proliferation and migration of NSCLC cell lines (A549 and NCI-H3255). Similarly, a notable acceleration of tumor growth and enhanced pulmonary tumorigenic potential were observed in HTR3A-overexpressing tumor-bearing mice. Mechanistically, upregulation of Forkhead Box H1 (FOXH1) by HTR3A led to the activation of Wnt3A/β-catenin signaling pathways, thereby promoting the development of NSCLC. Our report thus highlights the significance of the HTR3A/FOXH1 axis during tumor progression in NSCLC, proposing HTR3A as a possible diagnostic indicator and candidate target for clinical therapy.
