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

BACKGROUND AND

aimsTaurine-upregulated gene 1 (TUG1) is reported to be upregulated and contributes to the progression of Pancreatic cancer (PC) by serving as an oncogene. Our aims were to explore the precise mechanism of TUG1 involved in PC pathogenesis.

methodsTUG1 and miR-299-3p expression profiles were measured by qRT-PCR. The direct interaction between TUG1 and miR-299-3p was explored by luciferase reporter assay. MTT assay, flow cytometry analysis, caspase-3 activity assay, Transwell invasion assay and wound healing assay were performed to evaluate cell proliferative ability, apoptosis, caspase-3 activity, invasion and migration, respectively. Western blot was conducted to examine the expressions of Ki67, Bax, Bcl-2, matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), MMP-9, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Snail, Notch1, Survivin, and CyclinD1. In addition, animal experiments were also implemented.

resultsTUG1 was highly expressed, while miR-299-3p was underexpressed in PC tissues and PC cells. Furthermore, the significant increase of TUG1 in PC tissues of advanced patients (stage 3/4) was observed compared to patients (stage 1/2). TUG1 was negatively correlated with miR-299-3p expression in PC tissues. Moreover, TUG1 functioned as a molecular sponge of miR-299-3p to repress its expression. TUG1 knockdown suppressed cell proliferation, invasion, migration, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and induced apoptosis in PC cells, and repressed tumor growth and EMT in PC xenograft models, which were reversed following reintroduction with anti-miR-299-3p. Furthermore, we found that TUG1 silencing inactivated the Notch1 pathway in PC by upregulating miR-299-3p.

conclusionsThe results reported that inhibition of TUG1/miR-299-3p axis suppressed PC malignant progression via suppression of the Notch1 pathway.
