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

backgroundSOX2 overlapping transcript (SOX2OT) has been reported to be an important lncRNA in various cancers. SOX2 is embedded in an intron of the SOX2OT gene. But the role of SOX2OT in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and the association between SOX2OT and SOX2 remain unclear.

methodsQuantitative PCR (qPCR) was used to detect the expression of SOX2OT and SOX2 in ESCC tissues and cells. The isoforms of SOX2OT were identified by PCR and confirmed by sequencing. CCK-8 and Edu assays were performed to investigate the effects of SOX2OT on cell growth. The relationship between SOX2OT and SOX2 was explored by luciferase reporter assay.

resultsBoth SOX2OT and SOX2 were upregulated in ESCC tissues and cells. SOX2OT expression was positively associated with SOX2 expression in ESCC tissues. NR_004053 was one of the major SOX2OT transcripts aberrantly expressed in ESCC tissues and cells. Overexpression of SOX2OT (NR_004053) promoted ESCC cell growth, antagonized the effect of DDP and increased cell proliferation ratio. Ectopic expression of SOX2 could increase the luciferase activity of SOX2OT-pGL3/Basic and SOX2OT expression, while overexpression of SOX2OT (NR_004053) had no effect on SOX2 expression.

conclusionOur study demonstrates that the major isoform of SOX2OT in ESCC, SOX2OT (NR_004053) contributes to cell growth. SOX2 promotes SOX2OT expression at transcriptional level.
