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

The present study aimed to investigate the potential role of long non-coding RNA growth arrest-specific transcript 5 (lncRNA GAS5) in the progression of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and to reveal its possible regulatory mechanism. The expression of lncRNA GAS5 in ESCC tissues and cell lines was analyzed using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blot analysis. The overexpression vector pc-GAS5 and control vector pc-negative control (NC), containing no GAS5 sequence, were transfected into ESCC cells. The effects of lncRNA GAS5 overexpression on cell proliferation, cell cycle distribution, cell migration and invasion were then analyzed. Besides, the expression levels of ATM-CHK2 pathway-associated proteins and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-associated proteins were measured. Expression of lncRNA GAS5 was downregulated in the ESCC tissues compared with adjacent normal tissues, and was also downregulated in ESCC Kyse450 cells compared with the human esophageal epithelial HET-1A cell line. Additionally, lncRNA GAS5 was successfully overexpressed in ESCC cells following transfection with pc-GAS5. Overexpression of lncRNA GAS5 significantly inhibited cell proliferation, induced cell cycle arrest at G
