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

Deregulation of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) has been implicated in tumourigenesis. Cancer Susceptibility Candidate 2 (CASC2) is a lncRNA downregulated in multiple cancer types, including endometrial, lung, gastric and colorectal cancers. CASC2 functions as a tumour-suppressive lncRNA though multiple mechanisms, such as sequestration of oncogenic microRNAs and repression of Wnt/β-catenin signalling. Pertinent to clinical practice, the use of CASC2 as a prognostic marker has been demonstrated in sporadic studies. These findings suggested that CASC2 might play an important role in human cancers and melanoma. More efforts are warranted to examine the function role of CASC2 in other cancer types. Further validation is also needed to promote its development to be a clinically utilizable prognostic biomarker.
