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 noncoding RNA (lncRNA) plays pivotal roles in cancer development. To date, only a small number of lncRNAs have been characterized at functional level. Here, we discovered a novel lncRNA termed GAS5-AS1 as a tumor suppressor in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The expression of GAS5-AS1 in NSCLC tumors was much lower than that in the adjacent normal lung tissues. The reduced GAS5-AS1 was significantly correlated with larger tumors, higher TNM stages, and lymph node metastasis in NSCLC patients. While ectopic expression or specific knockdown of GAS5-AS1 had no effect on proliferation, cell cycle progression, and apoptosis, it dramatically decreased or increased, respectively, NSCLC cell migration and invasion. Overexpression of GAS5-AS1 in NSCLC cells reduced a cohort of molecules (ZEB1, N-cadherin, Vimentin, and/or Snail1) critical for epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Furthermore, the DNA demethylating agent 5-aza-2-deoxycytidine failed to upregulate GAS5-AS1 in NSCLC cells, whereas the pan-HDAC inhibitors panobinostat and SAHA significantly induced GAS5-AS1 in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, GAS5-AS1 can be upregulated by specific knockdown of HDAC1 or HDAC3. Collectively, our data suggest that histone modifications play a major role leading to epigenetic silencing of GAS5-AS1 in NSCLC and subsequently promote tumor metastasis via upregulation of several key EMT markers.
