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

purposeTo investigate the role of zinc finger E‑box‑binding homeobox 2 antisense RNA 1 (ZEB2-AS1) in regulating laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) progression. PATIENTS AND

methodsIn this retrospective study, we included all patients who underwent a surgical operation at The First Hospital of Qiqihaer City for LSCC. Then, we compared the expression of ZEB2-AS1 in LSCC tissues and paired healthy tissues. Besides, we also performed a series of functional assays, CCK8 assays, colony formation assays, and transwell assays to examine the functions of LSCC cells after knockdown of ZEB2-AS1. Through bioinformatics analysis, we predicted that ZEB2-AS1 binds to miR-6840-3p and targets PLXNB1.

resultsWe indicated that the expression of ZEB2-AS1 was higher in LSCC tissues compared to the paired adjacent tissues, and ZEB2-AS1 was also highly expressed in LSCC cell lines. Furthermore, we discovered that ZEB2-AS1 promoted cell proliferation, migration and invasion and was associated with poor prognosis. To find the mechanism, we performed bioinformatics analysis. We identified that ZEB2-AS1 binds to miR-6840-3p and targets PLXNB1. Additionally, miR-6840-3p overexpression or knockdown of PLXNB1 decreased the abilities of cell migration and invasion.

conclusionThese findings demonstrated that overexpression of ZEB2-AS1 promotes LSCC progression. Overexpression of miR-6840-3p or downregulation of PLXNB1 can abrogate ZEB2-AS1-mediated LSCC malignant development.
