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

Esophageal cancer (ESCC) is one of the most common causes of cancer-associated mortality in China. The present investigation reveals that non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including long ncRNAs (lncRNAs), exert a significant effect on the initiation, development and metastasis of malignant tumors, including ESCC. However, to the best of our knowledge, the function of non-protein-coding genes that host small nucleolar RNAs has not been investigated in cancer, particularly in ESCC. The expression of small nucleolar host gene 6 (SNHG6) in 70 ESCC tissues and paired adjacent tissues was measured by reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Analysis demonstrated that SNHG6 expression was significantly increased in ESCC tissues, and associated with tumor size (P=0.040) and Tumor-Node-Metastasis stage (P<0.01). Knockdown of SNHG6 may inhibit proliferative and colony-forming abilities, and induce apoptosis, in ESCC cells. To the best of our knowledge, the data from the present study indicated for the first time that SNHG6 was upregulated in ESCC tissues and cell lines. This novel lncRNA may exert a marked effect on the generation and progression of ESCC, potentially providing a novel perspective on ESCC diagnosis and management.
