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

backgroundLong non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been increasingly uncovered to participate in multiple human cancers, including pancreatic cancer (PC). However, the underlying mechanisms of most of the lncRNAs have not been fully understood yet.

aimsIn this study, we probed the role and latent mechanism of LINC01420 in PC.

methodsSeveral online tools were applied. Gene expression was evaluated by qRT-PCR or Western blot. Both in vitro and in vivo assays were conducted to probe LINC01420 function in PC. ChIP, RIP, and luciferase reporter assays were performed to determine relationships between genes.

resultsThe bioinformatics analyses revealed LINC01420 was highly expressed in PC tissues. Besides, LINC01420 was pronouncedly upregulated in PC cell lines and its depletion controlled PC cell proliferation and EMT in vitro and hindered tumor growth in vivo. Importantly, KRAS was proved to mediate LINC01420-facilitated PC cell proliferation. Further, we explained that KRAS transcription was regulated by MYC, while LINC01420 enhanced the binding of MYC to KRAS promoter in the nucleus of PC cells. Intriguingly, LINC01420 boosted MYC expression in the cytoplasm of PC cells by sponging miR-494-3p.

conclusionThis study illustrated that LINC01420 accelerates PC progression through releasing miR-494-3p-silenced MYC in cytoplasm and upregulating MYC-activated KRAS in nucleus, unveiling LINC01420 as a latent therapeutic strategy for PC patients.
