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

backgroundGrowing studies have reported that pseudogenes play key roles in multiple human cancers. However, expression and roles of pseudogenes in renal cell carcinoma remains absent.

results31 upregulated and 16 downregulated pseudogenes were screened. Higher expression of DUXAP8 and DUXAP9 indicated poorer prognosis of kidney cancer. 33 and 5 miRNAs were predicted to potentially binding to DUXAP8 and DUXAP9, respectively. miR-29c-3p was identified as the most potential binding miRNAs of DUXAP8 and DUXAP9 based on expression, survival and correlation analyses. 254 target genes of miR-29c-3p were forecast. 47 hub genes with node degree >= 10 were identified. Subsequent analysis for the top 10 hub genes demonstrated that COL1A1 and COL1A2 may be two functional targets of DUXAP8 and DUXAP9. Expression of DUXAP8, DUXAP9, COL1A1 and COL1A2 were significantly increased in cancer samples compared to normal controls while miR-29c-3p expression was decreased. Luciferase reporter assay revealed that miR-29c-3p could directly bind to DUXAP8, DUXAP9, COL1A1 and COL1A2. Functional experiments showed that DUXAP8 and DUXAP9 enhanced but miR-29c-3p weakened growth of renal cell carcinoma.

conclusionsIn conclusion, upregulated DUXAP8 and DUXAP9 promote growth of renal cell carcinoma and serve as two promising prognostic biomarkers.

methodsDysregulated pseudogenes were obtained by dreamBase and GEPIA. The binding miRNAs of pseudogene and targets of miRNA were predicted using starBase and miRNet. Kaplan-Meier plotter was utilized to perform survival analysis, and Enrichr database was introduced to conduct functional enrichment analysis. Hub genes were identified through STRING and Cytoscape. qRT-PCR, luciferase reporter assay, cell counting assay and colony formation assay were performed to validate
