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

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a common type of cancer worldwide. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been demonstrated to be associated with the development of multiple types of human cancer. The present study aimed to identify the potential role of lncRNA colon cancer associated transcript 1 (CCAT1) in NPC. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the expression levels of CCAT1 in NPC tissues and cell lines. The function of CCAT1 in the proliferation, migration, invasion and apoptosis of NPC cells was detected by MTT, cell scratch, Transwell, flow cytometry and caspase-3 ELISA assays, respectively. The results indicated that the expression levels of CCAT1 were significantly upregulated in NPC tissues compared with normal nasopharyngeal epithelial tissues. CCAT1 expression was also higher in SUNE-1 and C666-1 cells compared with NP69 cells. Furthermore, the knockdown of CCAT1 was indicated to inhibit growth, migration and invasion, and induce apoptosis in NPC cells. In conclusion, the present study is, to the best of our knowledge, the first to provide new findings that support an oncogenic role of CCAT1 in NPC. Further research is required to define the potential molecular mechanism of CCAT1 in the development of NPC.
