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

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) act as critical regulators of many malignant tumors cellular processes including cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, invasion and metastasis. However, the functions and molecular mechanisms of lncRNA HOXD-AS1 in melanoma remain little known. In the present study, we observed that lncRNA HOXD-AS1 expression was remarkably higher in melanoma tissues compared to skin tissues with melanocytic nevus. Increased expression of lncRNA HOXD-AS1 correlated with poor survival of melanoma patients. Furthermore, functional experiments demonstrated that upregulated lncRNA HOXD-AS1 expression dramatically promoted cell proliferation and invasion of melanoma, while downregulation of lncRNA HOXD-AS1 showed a tumor inhibiting effects on melanoma cells in vitro. In vivo, data results showed that lncRNA HOXD-AS1 knockdown notably reduced tumor growth. Additionally, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) and Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays revealed that lncRNA HOXD-AS1 could epigenetically suppress the expression of RUNX3 via binding to EZH2. Downregulation of RUNX3 attenuated the proliferation and invasion-inhibiting effects induced by lncRNA HOXD-AS1 knockdown in melanoma cells. Therefore, these results indicated that HOXD-AS1 may serve as a potential therapeutic target of melanoma.
