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

Osteosarcoma (OS), which affects adolescents especially during a growth spurt, has the highest incidence of any primary malignant bone tumour, and a high rate of early metastasis leading to a very poor prognosis. In recent years, non-coding RNAs, especially long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have attracted more and more attention as novel epigenetic regulators in a variety of tumours, including OS. Most recently, metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) was found to play an important role in OS progression by modulating the enhancers of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2). Furthermore, MALAT1 could inhibit the expression of E-cadherin and promote the expression of β-catenin, and this phenomenon might be the outcome of MALAT1-induced EZH2 activation. In this study, we investigated the vital function of MALAT1 in the progression of OS and its potential leading mechanism, altering the expression and localization of β-catenin via epigenetic transcriptional regulation by interacting with EZH2. With the help of MALAT1 silencing using small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), the loss of E-cadherin of MNNG/HOS cells was rescued, and the abnormal expression and localization of β-catenin were corrected at the same time. Overall, our research showed promising potential for new treatment strategies based on epigenetic regulation targeting MALAT1, which will not only coordinate with the patient's immune system, but also eliminate OS in conjunction with chemotherapy.
