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

Recent studies have shown that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the biological action and potential mechanism of liver cancer cell drug resistance have not been clearly clarified. In this study, lncRNAs were screened and differentially expressed in parental and cisplatin-resistant cell lines (HepG2 and HepG2/CDDP). A novel lncRNA, termed NRAL (Nrf2 regulation-associated lncRNA), was identified, and the initial results indicated that it was highly expressed in HepG2 cisplatin resistant cell lines compared to their parental counterparts. Functionally, NRAL depletion significantly enhanced CDDP-mediated cytotoxicity and apoptosis in two cisplatin-resistant HCC cell lines. Mechanistically, the results indicated that NRAL regulates Nrf2 expression through miR-340-5p serving as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA), thus influencing the CDDP-induced phenotype in HCC. Collectively, the present investigation suggest that the NRAL/miR-340-5p/Nrf2 axis mediates cisplatin resistance in HCC, which may provide novel targets for overcoming cisplatin resistance in hepatocellular carcinoma cells.
