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

Metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1), a well-known lncRNA associated with numerous diseases, particularly cancer, has received increased attention. The expression of MALAT1 was determined to be upregulated in numerous types of tumors and MALAT1 exhibited effects on tumor cell proliferation, migration, invasion and apoptosis. The abnormal expression of MALAT1 was identified in almost in every organ of the digestive system. MALAT1 performed an important role in the pathological alterations of organs that are associated with sex hormones and several reproductive system cancers. MALAT1 participates in molecular pathways. In the clinical application of MALAT1, MALAT1 was considered as a potential biomarker for the diagnosis and prediction of cancers, and may also serve as therapeutic target for treatment of specific tumors. This review summarizes the abnormal expression of MALAT1 in cancer, its significant effect on the primary features of cancer, as well as the underlying molecular mechanisms of MALAT1 in various cancers. According to studies on MALAT1, we introduce the upstream and downstream substances associated with the function of MALAT1. These reviewed studies promote the clinical application of MALAT1 in the aspect of diagnosis and treatment of different cancers, and may help point out new study directions for MALAT1.
