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

backgroundRadiotherapy is one of main useful therapies in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Nevertheless, the underlying mechanism between NSCLC cell radiosensitivity and effective treatment remains unclear.

objectiveThe aim is to explore the relationship between circular (circ) RNA and NSCLC cell radiosensitivity.

methodsCircRNA plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 (PVT1) and microRNA (miR)-1208 expression in NSCLC cells were assessed using quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR (qRT-PCR). NSCLC cells were transfected with si-PVT1 or miR-1208 inhibitor and then exposed to irradiation. Cellular biology behaviors were detected using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT), Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP Nick-End Labeling (TUNEL), colony formation, invasion and western blot. Additionally, binding between circPVT1 and miR-1208 was testified by dual-luciferase reporter and RIP assay.

resultsCircPVT1 was upregulated in NSCLC cells after irradiation treatment. Silencing circPVT1 induced inhibition of NSCLC cell growth and invasion, accompanied by cell apoptosis and γ-H2AX expression. Moreover, NSCLC cell proliferation and invasion was further inhibited by irradiation treatment in circPVT1-silenced cells, indicating a strong radiosensitivity of NSCLC cells. CircPVT1 functions as a competing endogenous RNA of miR-1208. Silencing miR-1208 reversed NSCLC cell sensitivity response to irradiation and activated PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway in circPVT1-silenced cells.

conclusionsSilencing circPVT1 enhanced radiosensitivity of NSCLC cells by sponging miR-1208.
