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

backgroundSmall nucleolar RNA host gene 12 (SNHG12) has been shown to be a long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) that facilitates the progression of a number of malignancies. However, the expression pattern and biological function of SNHG12 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) have not been investigated.

objectiveThe aim of our study is to investigate the expression, clinical significance and function of SNHG12 in NPC.

methodsRT-PCR was used to detect the expression of SNHG12 in NPC cell lines and primary tumor tissues. The correlation of SNHG12 with clinicopathological features and patient prognosis was analyzed. The biologic functions of SNHG12 in NPC were explored by MTT assay, colony formation assay, wound healing assays, transwell assay and flow cytometric analysis in vitro. The expression of EMT markers and Notch signal pathway markers were determined by western blotting.

resultsThe expression levels of SNHG12 were up-regulated in both NPC tissues and cell lines. High SNHG12 expression was significantly associated with clinical stage, grade and poor prognosis. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that high lncRNA SNHG12 expression was an independent poor prognostic factor for NPC patients. Functionally, knockdown of SNHG12 suppressed NPC cells proliferation, migration and invasion. Mechanistic investigations showed that knockdown of SNHG12 suppressed the activation of EMT and Notch-1 signal pathway.

conclusionsOur data suggest that SNHG12 promotes the progression of NPC and is a potential therapeutic target for NPC intervention.
