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

Esophageal cancer is one of the most common malignant cancers worldwide. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been reported to be associated with different types of cancer; however, the precise function of lncRNAs in tumorigenesis remains largely unknown. Herein, we found that lncRNA NBAT-1 levels were lower in EC clinic tissues than in normal samples, and lncRNA NBAT-1 expression was negatively associated with prognosis and TNM stage in EC patients. More importantly, in EC cancer cells, lncRNA NBAT-1 overexpression strongly inhibited cell proliferation, cell growth and tumor glycolysis. Furthermore, a series of rescue experiments were performed to demonstrate that the role of lncRNA NBAT-1 in EC cell proliferation, cell growth and tumor glycolysis was partially dependent on the PKM2 protein, which is a key metabolic enzyme in tumor development. Taken together, our data illustrate a functional role for lncRNA NBAT-1 in metabolic reprogramming in EC cancer; thus, lncRNA NBAT-1 might be a potential clinical therapeutic target in EC patients.
