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

backgroundChemoresistance influences the therapeutic effect of cisplatin and remains a major obstacle to its clinical use. MicroRNAs are associated with drug resistance of various tumors. However, the association between microRNAs and cisplatin in lung cancer remains largely unclear.

methodsMicroRNA expression profile was identified by microRNA microarray between the lung cancer cisplatin-sensitive cell line A549 (A549) and cisplatin-resistant cell line A549/DDP (A549/DDP) and confirmed by quantitative real-time-PCR (qRT-PCR). In vitro loss- and gain-of-function studies were performed to reveal the biological function of miR-192 and related mechanism of the microRNA-192/NKRF axis in lung cancer cell cisplatin resistance.

resultsIncreased miR-192 expression was detected in A549/DDP cells compared to A549. High miR-192 expression significantly suppressed apoptosis, enhanced proliferation, and conferred resistance to cisplatin in lung cancer cells. NF-κB repressing factor (NKRF), which is involved in the regulation of the NF-κB signaling pathway, was identified as a direct target of miR-192. Overexpression of miR-192 significantly increased the nuclear protein amount and transcriptional activation of NF-κB and expression of cIAP1, cIAP2, Bcl-xl and XIAP, whereas decreased miR-192 expression did the opposite. Inhibition of the NF-κB signal pathway by curcumin reversed the effect of upregulation of miR-192 on proliferation, apoptosis and cisplatin-resistance in lung cancer cells. These results indicated that miR-192/ NKRF axis enhances the cisplatin resistance of lung cancer cells through activating the NF-κB pathway in vitro.

conclusionsMiR-192 plays a crucial role in cisplatin-resistance of lung cancer cells. Thus, MiR-192 may represent a therapeutic target for overcoming resistance to cisplatin-based chemotherapy in lung cancer.
