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

purposelncRNA H19 has been considered as an oncogenic lncRNA in many human tumours. In the present study, we identify the role and molecular mechanism of lncRNA H19 in melanoma.

methodQRT-PCR was used to detect the expression of lncRNA H19 and E2F3 was detected in melanoma tissues. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK8), representative metabolites analysis was used to explore the biological function of lncRNA H19, miR-106a-5p and E2F3 in melanoma cells. Bioinformatics, luciferase reporter assays, MS2-RIP and RNA pull-down assay was used to demonstrate the molecular mechanism of lncRNA H19 in melanoma. We further test the function of lncRNA H19 in vivo though Xenograft tumour assay.

resultsWe found that lncRNA H19 was increased in melanoma tissue, and lncRNA H19 was correlated with poor prognosis of melanoma patients. miR-106a-5p acts as a tumour suppressor in melanoma by targeting E2F3. E2F3 affects the melanoma cell glucose metabolism and growth. We also demonstrated that lncRNA H19 may function as the sponge of miR-106a-5p to up-regulate E2F3 expression, and consequently promote the glucose metabolism and growth of melanoma.

conclusionsThis result elucidates a new mechanism for lncRNA H19 in melanoma development and provides a survival indicator and potential therapeutic target for melanoma patients.
