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

LncRNA has been considered to play a crucial role in the progression of several diseases by affecting cell proliferation. However, its role in benzene toxicity remains unclear. Our study showed that the expression of lncRNA-OBFC2A increased accompanied with the change of cell proliferation related-genes in benzene-exposed workers. In vitro experiments, 1,4-Benzoquinone dose-dependently inhibited cell proliferation and simultaneously caused the decrease of NOTCH1 expression and the increase of KLF15 in AHH-1 cell lines. Meanwhile, 1, 4-Benzoquinone obviously increased the expression of lncRNA-OBFC2A, which was consistent with our previous population results. Therefore, we propose that lncRNA-OBFC2A is involved in benzene toxicity by regulating cell proliferation. Further, we successfully constructed a lentivirus model of interfering the expression of lncRNA-OBFC2A. After interfering lncRNA-OBFC2A, the cell proliferation inhibition and the expression of NOTCH1 and KLF15 induced by 1, 4-Benzoquinone were reversed. Subsequently, RNA fluorescence in situ Hybridization assay showed that lncRNA-OBFC2A was located in cell nuclei. These results suggest that benzene and its metabolite decreases cell proliferation via LncRNA-OBFC2A-mediated anti-proliferation effect involving NOTCH1 and KLF15. LncRNA-OBFC2A can be a potential biomarker for benzene toxicity.
