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 noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are implicated in renal cell carcinoma (RCC), but remain largely unclear. Using publicly available transcriptome sequencing data from renal cancer (n = 703) and integrating bioinformatics analyses, we screened and identified a valuable lncRNA, EGFR-AS1. In our validation cohort (n = 204), EGFR-AS1 was significantly upregulated in RCC tissues (P < 0.001). Gain-of-function and loss-of-function studies showed that EGFR-AS1 promoted cell proliferation and invasion in vitro and in vivo. Based on previous studies and sequence complementarity of EGFR with EGFR-AS1, we demonstrated that EGFR-AS1 directly bound to EGFR mRNA and inhibited its degradation. Furthermore, RNA pull-down and mass spectrometry analyses showed that EGFR-AS1 interacted with HuR, which was responsible for the mRNA stability of EGFR. Multivariate analysis suggested that higher EGFR-AS1 expression predicted a poor prognosis in RCC patients (high vs low: P = 0.018, HR = 2.204, 95% CI: 1.145-4.241). In conclusion, EGFR-AS1 enhances the malignant phenotype of RCC cells by enhancing HuR-mediated mRNA stability of EGFR. Our data also provide biological rationales for EGFR-AS1 as a prognostic biomarker and a potential therapeutic target for RCC.
