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

backgroundAccumulating evidence indicates that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) participate in progression of gastric cancer (GC). Nevertheless, the function and expression level of DLX6-AS1 in GC remain unknown.

methodsWe explored the sequencing data of DLX6-AS1 downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas. The expression of DLX6-AS1, miR-204-5p and OCT1 in 56 GC patients and GC cell lines was quantified by qRT-PCR and western blotting. Furthermore, we performed in vitro functional assays to assess proliferation, invasion and migration of GC cells by knockdown of DLX6-AS1. The expression level of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related genes was also determined by qRT-PCR and western blotting. Actin remodeling was detected by F-actin phalloidin staining. The luciferase reporter assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation assay was utilized to confirm the bioinformatic prediction. The function of the DLX6-AS1/miR-204-5p/OCT1 axis in GC proliferation was clarified by rescue assays.

resultsWe first demonstrated that DLX6-AS1 was upregulated in GC tissues and cell lines and was associated with T3/T4 invasion, distant metastasis and poor clinical prognosis. Further functional analysis showed that downregulation of DLX6-AS1 inhibited GC cell proliferation, migration, invasion and EMT in vitro. Mechanistic investigation indicated that DLX6-AS1 acted as a cancer-promoting competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) by binding miR-204-5p and upregulating OCT1. Moreover, the transcription factor OCT1 was confirmed to enhance DLX6-AS1 expression by targeting the promoter region.

conclusionsThis study revealed that OCT1-induced DLX6-AS1 promoted GC progression and the EMT via the miR-204-5p/OCT1 axis, suggesting that this lncRNA might be a promising prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for GC.
