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

backgroundThe aim of our study was to explore how C1QTNF1-AS1 regulated miR-221-3p/SOCS3 axis in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

methodsDifferentially expressed lncRNAs and genes were examined via RNA-seq. GO analysis and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis were carried out based on the function of dys-regulated mRNAs. RT-qPCR was employed to detect the relative mRNA expression level of C1QTNF1-AS1, miR-221-3p, SOCS3 and key genes in the JAK/STAT signaling pathway in HCC tissues and cells, and western blot analysis was conducted to detect the relative protein expression levels of SOCS3 and key proteins in the JAK/STAT signaling pathway in HCC tissues and cells. MTT assay, transwell assay and flow cytometry were utilized to assess HCC cell proliferation, invasion, migration and apoptosis. Dual luciferase reporter gene assay was used to verify the targeted relationship between C1QTNF1-AS1 and miR-221-3p, as well as between miR-221-3p and SOCS3. A tumorigenicity assay in nude mice was conducted to investigate the effects of C1QTNF1-AS1 on HCC tumor growth in vivo.

resultsC1QTNF1-AS1 and SOCS3 were down-regulated, while miR-221-3p was up-regulated in HCC tissues and cells. In HepG2 and Huh7 cells, overexpression of C1QTNF1-AS1 or SOCS3, as well as silence of miR-221-3p inhibited HCC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion and promoted HCC cell apoptosis. The results of the dual luciferase reporter gene assay indicated that miR-221-3p could directly target both C1QTNF1-AS1 and SOCS3. In addition, up-regulation of C1QTNF1-AS1 suppressed HCC tumor growth in vivo.

conclusionOverexpression of C1QTNF1-AS1 down-regulated miR-221-3p and subsequently up-regulated SOCS3, thereby inhibiting HCC cell proliferation, migration and invasion and promoting apoptosis through the JAK/STAT signaling pathway.
