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

The down-regulation of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) MEG3 has been observed in various cancers; nonetheless, underlying mechanisms are still unclear. The current research work aims at exploring the roles of MEG3 in the pathogenesis of CRC and the associated mechanism. We observed that MEG3 was significantly down-regulated in both CRC tumor tissue and cell lines; also, the transient over-expression of MEG3 in CRC cell line SW480 and LoVo inhibited the proliferation and the migration and clone formation capability of cells; on the other hand, the knockdown of MEG3 has revealed opposite effects. Eventually, we figured it out that target miR-376 directly targeted both MEG3 and PRDK1 in SW480 and LoVo cells. To conclude, as our findings proved, MEG3 is likely to act as a tumor suppressor in the pathogenesis of CRC by means of the regulation of the miR-376/PRDK1 signal axis, suggesting that MEG3 has the potential to become a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of CRC.
