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

Long non-coding RNA nuclear enriched abundant transcript 1 (NEAT1) has been demonstrated to serve key roles in numerous human cancer types, but its function in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and underlying regulatory mechanism have not been evaluated. The present study demonstrated that expression of NEAT1 was significantly higher in OSCC tissue and cell lines compared with adjacent non-tumour tissue and normal oral keratinocytes, respectively. Additionally, upregulation of NEAT1 was significantly associated with advanced clinical stage and shorter survival time in patients with OSCC. Bioinformatics analysis and luciferase reporter gene assay data confirmed the interaction between NEAT1 and miR-365, and it was revealed that NEAT1 may downregulate microRNA (miR)-365 expression in OSCC cells. Furthermore, inhibition of NEAT1 expression led to a significant reduction in OSCC cell migration and invasion, which was accompanied by reduced matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP9 protein expression. By contrast, inhibition of miR-365 eliminated suppressive effects of NEAT1 knockdown on OSCC cell migration and invasion. miR-365 was significantly downregulated in OSCC tissue and cell lines and an inverse correlation between miR-365 and NEAT1 expression in OSCC tissue was observed. To conclude, the present study demonstrated that NEAT1 promoted migration and invasiveness of OSCC cells by sponging miR-365. The current study suggests that NEAT1 may serve as a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of OSCC.
