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

purposeLung cancer is currently the most common malignant tumor worldwide and one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths, posing a serious threat to human health. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of endogenous non-coding small RNA molecules that regulate gene expression and are involved in various biological processes associated with lung cancer. Understanding the mechanisms of lung carcinogenesis and detecting disease biomarkers may enable early diagnosis of lung cancer.

methodsEpithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a critical biological process through which tumor cells acquire migratory and invasive capabilities, playing an important role in the progression of lung cancer. miRNAs regulate the EMT process in lung cancer cells by targeting transcription factors such as Snail, Slug, and ZEB1/2, as well as modulating signaling pathways including TGF-β and Wnt/β-catenin, thereby enhancing their migratory and invasive abilities.

resultsNSCLC has been comprehensively elucidated in terms of its pathogenesis, and the detection and therapeutic approaches targeting miRNAs for NSCLC have been systematically summarized.

conclusionThis review examines the impact of miRNAs on tumor invasiveness through the regulation of key factors or signaling pathways, as well as their potential as biomarkers for the early diagnosis of lung cancer. It provides a theoretical foundation for studying the mechanisms of lung cancer metastasis and developing more precise detection and treatment strategies.
