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

backgroundNasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a common malignant cancer that is distributed particularly in Southeastern Asia. Previous studies have manifested that long noncoding RNA urothelial carcinoma associated 1 (UCA1) was involved in NPC tumorigenesis and metastasis. However, the biological mechanism of UCA1 for NPC cell progression requires further investigation.

methodsThe expression levels of UCA1, miR-124-3p, integrin beta-1 (ITGB1) were detected by qRT-PCR. Protein expression of ITGB1 was determined by Western blot assay. Cell proliferation, migration and invasion were evaluated by CCK8 and transwell assay, respectively. The interaction between miR-124-3p and UCA1 or ITGB1 was determined by luciferase reporter system, RIP and RNA pull-down assay. Mice model was established by subcutaneously injecting SUNE1 cells stably transfected with sh-UCA1 and sh-NC.

resultsThe expression of UCA1 was up-regulated in NPC tissues and cells. However, UCA1 knockdown hindered NPC cell growth, migration and invasion. In addition, the interaction between miR-124-3p and UCA1 or ITGB1 was confirmed by luciferase reporter system, RIP and RNA pull-down assay. Besides, miR-124-3p inhibitor abrogated UCA1 silencing-mediated suppression on cell progression in NPC. Moreover, UCA1 accelerated NPC cell progression through modulating ITGB1 via sponging miR-124-3p. In vivo experiments revealed the interference of UCA1-inhibited tumor growth by regulating miR-124-3p/ITGB1 axis.

conclusionUCA1 acts as an oncogene to promote NPC cell proliferation by up-regulating ITGB1 through suppressing miR-124-3p in vitro and in vivo, providing a potential target for NPC diagnosis and treatment.
