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

Evidence is accumulating that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) exert crucial roles in the incidence and progression of tumors. HOXD cluster antisense RNA 1 (HOXD-AS1), a cancer-related lncRNA, has been frequently reported to be involved in tumorigenesis and dysregulated in multiple types of human cancers; however, little is known about its role in ovarian cancer (OC). This study aimed to explore the role of HOXD-AS1 in OC and elucidate the potential mechanism involved. In the current study, HOXD-AS1 was observed to be upregulated in both OC tissues and cell lines. Besides, elevated expression of HOXD-AS1 was found to be associated with poor prognosis of OC patients. Furthermore, functional studies demonstrated that HOXD-AS1 promoted OC cell proliferation and colony formation, and enhanced the migration and invasion capabilities of OC cells. Mechanistically, HOXD-AS1 was detected to positively regulate the expression of frizzled family receptor 4 (FZD4) by competitively binding to miR-608. Taken together, HOXD4-AS1 exerts tumor-promoting functions through miR-608/FZD4 axis in OC. Our findings indicate that HOXD-AS1 may be used as a promising therapeutic target and a novel prognostic biomarker for OC.
