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

backgroundLaryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is the common cancer with poor prognosis. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) ANRIL has been proven to play an important role in many cancers. However up to now, the role of ANRIL in LSCC is still poorly understood. The present study aimed to investigate the role and underlying mechanisms of ANRIL and miR-181a in LSCC.

methodsExpression of ANRIL, miR-181a and Snai2 in both LSCC tissues and cells was determined by qRT-PCR. CCK-8 assay, colony formation assay, flow cytometry analysis and transwell assay were conducted to detect cell proliferation, clonogenicity, apoptosis, invasion and migration, respectively. The binding between ANRIL and miR-181a, as well miR-181a and Snai2 was confirmed by dual luciferase reporter assay. Western blotting was used to determine the protein levels of Snail, Slug, E-cadherin, N-cadherin and Vimentin.

resultsANRIL was up-regulated while miR-181a was down-regulated in LSCC tissues. ANRIL was negatively correlated with miR-181a and was positively correlated with Snai1 and Snai2. Dual luciferase reporter assay showed ANRIL could directly sponge miR-181a to counteract its suppression on Snai2, serving as a positive regulator of Snai2. Either knockdown of ANRIL or overexpression of miR-181a significantly inhibited the proliferation, clonogenicity, invasion, migration and epithelial mesenchymal transformation (EMT), as well as promoted the apoptosis of LSCC cells, and knockdown of miR-181a reversed the effects.

conclusionInhibition of ANRIL could suppress cell proliferation, clonogenicity, invasion and migration, as well as enhance cell apoptosis of LSCC cells through regulation of miR-181a/Snai2 axis, indicating that ANRIL might be a promising therapeutic target during the treatment of LSCC.
