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

Recent molecularly targeted approaches have gained advances in nasopharyngeal carcinoma treatment. However, the estimated five-year survival rate has not met the desired degree of improvement. Here, we report that upregulation of the expression of the SOX2-activated lncRNA ANRIL is involved in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. ANRIL has been found to be upregulated in clinical nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Using genetic approaches targeting ANRIL in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells, we found that the knockdown of ANRIL inhibits cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, SOX2 binds with ANRIL and increases its RNA level, which upregulates β-catenin signalling, resulting in enhanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma tumourigenesis. Expression levels of ANRIL are positively correlated with SOX2 and β-catenin in clinical nasopharyngeal carcinoma samples. Our findings demonstrate that the SOX2-ANRIL-β-catenin axis plays a critical role in nasopharyngeal carcinoma proliferation and provide a potential therapeutic approach for nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients.
