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

objectivesTo study the expression pattern of long non-coding RNA FGFR3 antisense transcript 1(FGFR3-AS1) and the cell proliferation inhibition, apoptosis, and motility changes induced by silencing FGFR3-AS1 in bladder cancer.

methodsThe differential expression levels of FGFR3-AS1 and FGFR3 in tumor tissues and paired normal tissues were determined using Real-Time qPCR in a total of 36 patients diagnosed with bladder cancer (urothelial carcinoma). Pearson's coefficient correlation was used for expression correlation assay. Expression differences of FGFR3-AS1 were analyzed according to grading and staging. FGFR3 protein was detected by western blot assay. Human bladder cancer T24 and 5637 cell lines were transiently transfected with FGFR3-AS1-specific siRNA or negative control siRNA. The cell proliferation changes of transfected bladder cancer cells were determined using CCK-8 assay. Apoptosis caused by knockdown of FGFR3-AS1 was evaluated using ELISA assay. Motility changes induced by knockdown of FGFR3-AS1 were measured using wound healing assay and transwell assay.

resultsBoth FGFR3-AS1 and FGFR3 were overexpressed in bladder cancer tissues compared to matched normal tissues. They were also positively expressed in bladder cancer. FGFR3-AS1 expression levels were higher in high grade tumors than those in low grade tumors. FGFR3-AS1 expression levels were higher in invasive tumors than those in non-invasive tumors. Cell proliferation inhibition, increased apoptosis, and decreased motility were observed in FGFR3-AS1 siRNA-transfected T24 and 5637 cell lines.

conclusionsFGFR3-AS1 plays an oncogenic role in human bladder cancer. Knockdown of FGFR3-AS1 may provide a potential new therapeutic approach to this disease.
