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

objectivesAccumulating evidence demonstrated that the long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) HOTAIR (Hox transcript antisense intergenic RNA) plays key role in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) malignancy, while microRNA-124 (miR-124) is a tumour suppressor in RCC. The aim of this work was to assess the biological function of HOTAIR and to explore underlying mechanism involved in HOTAIR/miR-124/alpha-2, 8-sialyltransferase 4 (ST8SIA4) axis-regulated progression in RCC. MATERIALS AND

methodsReal-time PCR analyses and western blots were performed to the levels of HOTAIR, miR-124 and ST8SIA4 expression in human RCC tissues and RCC cell lines (ACHN and 786-O). Bioinformatics analysis and dual-luciferase reporter assay were used to illustrate relationship between HOTAIR and miR-124 in RCC. Colony formation assays, EdU assays, Ki67 assays and apoptosis assays were taken to evaluate cell proliferation. Tumour xenograft was created to explore the functions of HOTAIR and ST8SIA4 in tumorigenesis in vivo. Migration assays, invasion assays and cell adhesion assays and were also taken to analyse the carcinoma progression.

resultsIn this study, HOTAIR level was confirmed to be significantly upregulated in RCC samples and RCC cell lines compared with those in the paired adjacent tissues and normal renal cell line. Overexpression of HOTAIR promoted the capability of proliferation, migration and invasion in RCC cell lines. HOTAIR directly bound to miR-124, while miR-124 mediated the expression of ST8SIA4 in RCC cell lines. ST8SIA4 was upregulated in RCC tissues and RCC cell lines. Ectopic expression of ST8SIA4 modulated the proliferation, migration and invasion of RCC cells. Further results indicated that HOTAIR promoted the proliferation and metastasis as a competing endogenous RNA to regulate ST8SIA4 expression by sponging miR-124 in RCC.

conclusionsOur results demonstrated that HOTAIR mediated RCC progression in part through miR-124/ST8SIA4 axis, which functioned as a new prognostic biomarker in RCC.
