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

background/purposeLong noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a functional role in the initiation and progression of prostate cancer (PCa). This study aimed to determine differentially expressed lncRNA through high-throughput sequencing technology and investigate its expression, biological function and clinical correlation with PCa. MATERIALS AND

methodsCandidate lncRNAs were identified through microarray screening and bioanalysis. The expression of lncRNA LOC440040 in PCa tissues and cell lines was determined by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. The relationship between LOC440040 level and clinicopathological characteristics was analyzed by paired

resultsLOC440040 expression was upregulated in PCa tissues and cell lines. Clinicopathological analysis showed that patients with high LOC440040 expression exhibited more advanced clinical features and shorter overall survival than those with low LOC440040 expression. Multivariate regression analysis revealed that LOC440040 expression was an independent prognostic factor in patients with PCa. Knockdown of LOC440040 inhibited PCa cell proliferation, migration and invasion.

conclusionLOC440040 may play an oncogenic role in PCa initiation and progression. This lncRNA could be a novel molecular prognostic biomarker and a potential therapeutic target for PCa.
