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

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been found to be dysregulated in a variety of tumors. The lncRNA-Low Expression in Tumor (LET) is a recently identified lncRNA, but its expression pattern and biological significance in human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are still largely unknown. In this study, we found that lncRNA-LET was significantly downregulated in human NSCLC lung tissues and cell lines. Decreased lncRNA-LET expression was strongly associated with advanced tumor stages and poorer overall survival of NSCLC patients. Functionally, overexpression of lncRNA-LET in NSCLC H292 cells significantly suppressed cell proliferation, migration and invasion, and promoted cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, while knockdown of lncRNA-LET in NSCLC H1975 cells showed an opposite effect, pointing to a tumor-suppressive role for lncRNA-LET in NSCLC. Mechanistically, we demonstrated that lncRNA-LET overexpression significantly reduced the expression of Notch1 intracellular Domain (NICD1) in H292 cells while knockdown of lncRNA-LET increased NICD1 expression in H1975 cells. Similarly, NSCLC lung tissues with high levels of lncRNA-LET had lower NICD1 expression. Thus, our results provide a strong rationale for lncRNA-LET to be used as a prognostic indicator and a potent therapeutic target for NSCLC patients, and highlight a novel lncRNA-LET/Notch axis in regulating NSCLC cell fate and tumor progression.
