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

backgroundLong noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a new class of cancer regulators. Here, we aimed to investigate the diagnostic and therapeutic values of an lncRNA, differentiation antagonizing noncoding RNA (DANCR), in lung cancer.

methodsReal-time polymerase chain reaction was used to compare DANCR levels in normal and cancerous lung tissues as well as lung cancer cells. Lentiviral transduction was used to induce DANCR overexpression or silencing in vitro, followed by monitoring cell proliferation, colony formation, and changes in microRNA-216a (miR-216a) expression. DANCR-specific small hairpin RNA transduction was used to establish cells with stable DANCR knockdown, and silenced cells were used to initiate lung tumor xenografts, followed by monitoring tumor growth.

resultsDANCR upregulation was seen in lung cancer, particularly in high-grade lung cancer tissues and aggressive cancer cells. Ectopic DANCR expression induced lung cancer cell proliferation and colony formation, whereas DANCR silencing induced opposing effects. The miR-216a level in cancer cells was negatively correlated with DANCR expression. The DANCR knockdown reduced the growth of tumor xenografts in vivo.

conclusionDANCR upregulation is a potential indicator of aggressive lung cancer. Silencing of DANCR has great potential as a potent therapeutic strategy in lung cancer.
