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

The cellular transcriptome contains a wide diversity of untranslated RNAs, of which the class of regulatory long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) has only recently been recognized. Evidence swiftly accumulates of lncRNAs influencing mitochondrial activities of eukaryotic cells, and perturbed expression is conspicuously associated with human diseases. In this review, we describe the multifaceted effects of lncRNAs on mitochondrial function, more particularly on the balance between oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis, on the production of reactive oxygen species, and on apoptosis in human cells. Emphasis is placed on the involvement of lncRNAs in cancer metabolism, as tumor cells rely heavily on modifications of mitochondrial functioning as an essential component for sustained tumorigenesis and cancer progression. From the nonexhaustive list of lncRNAS described in this review, ANRIL, AScmtRNA, H19, HOTAIR, LincRNA-p21, MALAT1, RMRP, SAMMSON, and VL30 have emerged as potent regulators of mitochondrial metabolism. Due to their key role in cancer progression, they represent potential targets of innovative lncRNA-based treatment strategies.
