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

Aberrant expression of long noncoding RNA GAS5 in bladder cancer (BC) cells was identified in recent studies. However, the regulatory functions and underlying molecular mechanisms of GAS5 in BC development remain unclear. Here, we confirmed that there was a negative correlation between GAS5 level and bladder tumor clinical stage. Functionally, overexpression of GAS5 reduced cell viability and induced cell apoptosis in T24 and EJ bladder cancer cells. Mechanistically, GAS5 effectively repressed EZH2 transcription by directly interacting with E2F4 and recruiting E2F4 to EZH2 promoter. We previously reported that miR-101 induced the apoptosis of BC cells by inhibiting the expression of EZH2. Interestingly, the present study showed that downregulation of EZH2 by GAS5 resulted in overexpression of miR-101 in T24 and EJ cells. Furthermore, the level of GAS5 was increased under the treatment of Gambogic acid (GA), a promising natural anti-cancer compound, whereas knockdown of GAS5 suppressed the inhibitory effect of GA on cell viability and abolished GA-induced apoptosis in T24 and EJ cells. Taken together, our findings demonstrated a tumor-suppressor role of GAS5 by inhibiting EZH2 on transcriptional level, and additionally provided a novel therapeutic strategy for treating human bladder cancer.
