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

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most common malignant tumor in India with 5-year survival rates totaling <50%. Recently, dysregulation of non-coding RNA was reported as a potential hallmark of carcinogenesis. Colon Cancer Associated Transcript 1 (CCAT1), an lncRNA located in chromosome 8q24, close to the c-Myc gene, has been reported to be overexpressed in many human cancers. In the present study, the authors analyzed the expression of CCAT1, c-Myc and the miRNAs miR155-5p, let7b-5p, miR490-3p and miR218-5p sponged by CCAT1 in 60 oral tumor and 8 normal tissue samples by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. CCAT1 was significantly overexpressed in 27% (16/60) of oral tumors. Interestingly, a high level of c-Myc expression was observed in all CCAT1 overexpressing cases (P=0.0473). Furthermore, CCAT1 overexpression significantly downregulated miR155-5p (P=0.03) and let7b-5p (P<0.0001). Oral cancer cases expressing high level of CCAT1 (P=0.01) presented poor therapeutic outcome. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first study to report the overexpression of the CCAT1 in oral SCCs, and the results suggested that CCAT1 overexpression may sponge miR155-5p and let7b-5p, and may account for poor treatment response.
