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

Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) accounts for 40% of lung cancers and the rate of clinical detection is increasing year by year. Mitochondrial ribosomal protein L15 (MRPL15) is a mitochondrial ribosomal protein whose high expression has been associated with the development of many cancers; however, the role of MRPL15 on the proliferation of LUAD remains unclear. In this study, MRPL15 expression was measured in cancer tissues and paracancers of patients with LUAD, and the correlation between MRPL15 and the tumor growth marker, the marker of proliferation Ki-67 (MKI67), was examined. Overexpression and knockdown of MRPL15 in LUAD cells to ascertain its effect of MRPL15 on the proliferation of LUAD cells. The results displayed that MRPL15 was highly expressed in LUAD tissues compared to adjacent tissues. MRPL15 expression was positively correlated with the expression of MKI67. Elevated expression of MRPL15 advanced the proliferation of LUAD cells; conversely, downregulation of MRPL15 restrained the proliferation of LUAD cells. In conclusion, MRPL15 promotes the proliferation of LUAD cells, and MRPL15 may serve as a potential marker or a therapeutic target for LUAD.
