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 researches have reported that long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) five prime to Xist (FTX) plays a crucial role in the initiation and progression of cancers. In the current study, the clinical significance and functional roles of lncRNA FTX in colorectal cancer (CRC) progression were investigated. A significant increase of lncRNA FTX expression in CRC tissue and cell lines was observed. Overexpression of lncRNA FTX was significantly associated with the bigger tumor diameter, the advanced TNM stage, the lymph node, and distant metastasis, and also predicted poor prognosis of patients with CRC. Functional analyses demonstrated that knockdown of lncRNA FTX markedly inhibited CRC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in vitro. Mechanistically, FTX directly interacted with miR-215 and suppressed miR-215 expression. FTX also bind to vimentin and reduced its phosphorylation level on Ser83 in CRC cells. Finally, using siRNAs against lncRNA FTX could dramatically inhibit CRC growth and distant metastasis in vivo. Taken together, our data demonstrated an oncogenic role of lncRNA FTX in CRC tumorigenesis and progression via interaction with miR-215 and vimentin. Then, a promising therapeutic target for CRC was provided.
