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

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), including adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, is the leading cause of death from lung malignancies and has a poor prognosis due to metastasis. Suppressor of cytokine signalling-2 (SOCS2), a feedback inhibitor of cytokine signalling, has been shown to be involved in growth control. Here, we show that SOCS2 were significantly downregulated in tumour foci in NSCLC patients. The expression levels of SOCS2 significantly correlated with clinical stage, lymph node metastasis, histological subtype and survival time. In particular, the decreased expression of SOCS2 significantly associated with advanced pathological stage, lymph node metastasis and shorter overall survival in lung adenocarcinoma patients. In vivo animal results showed that overexpressed SOCS2 attenuated the metastatic characteristics of lung adenocarcinoma, including by inhibiting the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Further functional studies indicated that insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1)-driven migratory and invasive behaviours of lung adenocarcinoma cells can be partially suppressed by exogenous SOCS2 expression. Investigations into the mechanism of action revealed that SOCS2 inhibits EMT by inactivating signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) and STAT5 via the competitive binding of SOCS2 to the STAT binding sites on IGF1R. Altogether, our results reveal an important role for SOCS2 dysregulation in the pathogenicity of lung adenocarcinoma, suggest its potential use as a biomarker for diagnosing lung adenocarcinoma, and paves the way to develop novel therapy targets as the axis of SOCS2-IGF1R-STAT in lung adenocarcinoma.
