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

backgroundLong non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have important effects on the development and progression of multiple carcinomas. Our studies aimed to investigate the expression of lncRNA DANCR in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) tissues and paracancerous tissues, and to explore its effect on the cell biological characteristics of ESCC ECA109 cells.

methodsThe expression of DANCR was detected by qRT-PCR in human ESCC tissues and paracancerous normal tissues in ESCC patients. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) was transfected to knock down the expression of DANCR and interference efficiency was analyzed by qRT-PCR in ECA109 cells. MTT, wound healing, Transwell, TUNEL and flow cytometry (FCM) assay was used to measure the influence of DANCR on proliferation, invasion, migration and apoptosis in ECA109 cells, respectively.

resultsThe expression of DANCR in ESCC tissues and ESCC cells was significantly higher compared with that in the adjacent normal tissues (P<0.05). Furthermore, cell proliferation, migration and invasion were significantly suppressed by knock-down mediated down-regulation of DANCR expression. On the contrary, cell apoptosis was promoted by silencing of DANCR.

conclusionsAccording to our research, the expression of DANCR was up-regulated in human ESCC tissues, and the important role that DANCR played in ESCC cells was similar to an oncogene. Therefore, silencing of lncRNA DANCR could have potentially beneficial effects on the prognostic and therapy for ESCC in the future.
