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

backgroundColorectal cancer (CRC) arises in a multistep molecular network process, which is from either discrete genetic perturbation or epigenetic dysregulation. The long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), emerging as key molecules in human malignancy, has become one of the hot topics in RNA biology. Aberrant O-glycosylation is a well-described hallmark of many cancers. GALNT7 acts as a glycosyltransferase in protein O-glycosylation, involving in the occurrence and development of CRC.

methodsThe microarrays were used to survey the lncRNA and mRNA expression profiles of primary CRC cell line SW480 and metastatic CRC cell line SW620. Cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis were assayed. Xenograft mouse models were used to determine the role of lncRNA-SNHG7 in CRC in vivo. In addition, CNC analysis and competing endogenous analysis were used to detect differential SNHG7 and relational miRNAs expression in CRC cell lines.

resultsSNHG7 expression showed a high fold (SW620/SW480) in CRC microarrays. The CRC patients with high expression of SNHG7 had a significantly poor prognosis. Furthermore, SNHG7 promoted CRC cell proliferation, metastasis, mediated cell cycle, and inhibited apoptosis. SNHG7 and GALNT7 were observed for co-expression by CNC analysis, and a negative correlation of SNHG7 and miR-34a were found by competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) analysis. Further results indicated that SNHG7 facilitated the proliferation and metastasis as a competing endogenous RNA to regulate GALNT7 expression by sponging miR-34a in CRC cell lines. SNHG7 also played the oncogenic role in regulating PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway by competing endogenous miR-34a and GALNT7.

conclusionThe CRC-related SNHG7 and miR-34a might be implicated in CRC progression via GALNT7, suggesting the potential usage of SNHG7/miR-34a/GALNT7 axis in CRC treatment.
