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 RNA (lncRNA) DLEU2 has been shown to be dysregulated in several type of tumor. However, the potential biological roles and molecular mechanisms of DLEU2 in pancreatic cancer (PC) progression are poorly understood. In this study, we found that the DLEU2 level was substantially upregulated in PC tissues and PC cell lines, and significantly associated with poor clinical outcomes in PC patients. Overexpression of DLEU2 significantly induced PC cell proliferation and invasion, whereas knockdown of DLEU2 impaired cell proliferation and invasion in vitro. Furthermore, bioinformatics analysis, luciferase reporter assay, and RNA immunoprecipitation assay revealed that DLEU2 directly bond to microRNA-455 (miR-455) and functioned as an endogenous sponge for miR-455, which could remarkably suppress cell growth and invasion. We also determined that SMAD2 was a direct target of miR-455, and the restoration of SMAD2 rescued cell growth and invasion that were reduced by DLEU2 knockdown or miR-455 overexpression. In addition, low miR-455 expression and high SMAD2 expression was correlated with poor patient survival. These results indicate that DLEU2 is an important promoter of PC development, and targeting the DLEU2/miR-455/SMAD2 pathway could be a promising therapeutic approach in the treatment of PC.
