High expression of long non-coding RNA NNT-AS1 facilitates progression of cholangiocarcinoma through promoting epithelial-mesenchymal transition.

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.
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
backgroundCholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a biliary malignancy, which is notoriously difficult to diagnose and associated with poor survival. Accumulating evidence indicates that long non-coding RNA Nicotinamide Nucleotide Transhydrogenase-antisense RNA1 (NNT-AS1) is overexpressed in several tumors and plays a crucial role in the development of neoplasm. However, the expression pattern and functional role of NNT-AS1 in CCA remain largely unknown.
methodsNNT-AS1 expression was assessed by RT-qPCR and In Situ Hybridization (ISH) assay. The clinical relevance of NNT-AS1 was analyzed using a CCA tissue microarray with follow-up data. The function role of NNT-AS1 and its underlying molecular mechanisms were evaluated using both in vitro/in vivo experiments and bioinformatics analysis. Luciferase reporter assay, western blot and RT-qPCR were conducted to identify the miRNA/target gene involved in the regulation of CCA progression.
resultsLncRNA NNT-AS1 was found highly expressed in CCA. Upregulated NNT-AS1 expression was tightly associated with clinical malignancies and predicted poor prognosis of CCA patients. Functional studies showed that NNT-AS1 knockdown inhibited cell proliferation, migration and invasion of CCA cells in vitro. Conversely, NNT-AS1 overexpression showed the opposite biological effects. In a tumor xenograft model, we confirmed that NNT-AS1 knockdown could significantly inhibit the growth of CCA, while NNT-AS1 overexpression promoted CCA development. Mechanistically, we demonstrated that NNT-AS1 might function as a ceRNA in regulating HMGA2 (high mobility group AT-hook 2) through competitively binding to miR-142-5p in CCA. Moreover, we showed that NNT-AS1 regulated epithelial-mesenchymal transition in CCA.
conclusionIn summary, these findings suggest the potential prognostic and therapeutic value of NNT-AS1/miR-142-5p/HMGA2 axis in CCA patients.
