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

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been involved in the process of cancer occurrence, progression, and treatment. Lung cancer-related lncRNAs are still an emerging field, thus we sought to identify novel functional lncRNAs as candidate targets in lung cancer. Here, we identified one novel lncRNA, MUC5B-AS1 (Ensembl: ENST00000532061.2). MUC5B-AS1 was upregulated in lung adenocarcinoma tissues compared with normal lung tissues. Moreover, MUC5B-AS1 promoted lung cancer cell migration and invasion in vitro and promoted lung cancer cell metastasis in vivo. MUC5B-AS1 and its cognate sense transcript MUC5B were highly co-expressed and mutually regulated in lung adenocarcinoma. Mechanistically, MUC5B-AS1 promoted cell migration and invasion by forming an RNA-RNA duplex with MUC5B, thereby increasing MUC5B expression levels in lung adenocarcinoma. The high expression of MUC5B was significantly associated with poor outcomes in lung adenocarcinoma. Our findings highlight MUC5B-AS1 functions as an oncogenic lncRNA in tumor metastasis and implicate MUC5B-AS1 as an attractive candidate target for lung adenocarcinoma treatment.
