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

backgroundEsophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most lethal malignancies. Latest studies report that long noncoding RNAs (LncRNAs) play an essential role in diversified pathological processes of ESCC, although the mechanism by which they do so remains unknown. This study aimed to explore the parts of lncRNA taurine upregulated gene 1 (TUG1) in ESCC tissues and cells, its biofunctional effect and its underlying regulatory mechanism in ESCC.

methodsThe levels of TUG1 and miR-148a-3p were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) in ESCC cells and tissues. The biofunctional effects were examined by MTT, flow cytometry, and transwell assay. The protein expression levels of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related proteins and MCL-1 were determined by western blot analysis. The binding sites between miR-148a-3p and TUG1 or MCL-1 were predicted by online software starBase and confirmed by dual luciferase reporter assay.

resultsThe mRNA expression of TUG1 was significantly upregulated in ESCC tissues or cells, and was negatively correlated to miR-148a-3p expression in tissues. Knockdown of TUG1 inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion, promoted apoptosis, and relieved the EMT progression in EC9706 and OE19 cells. Besides, knockdown of miR-148a-3p inverted positive effects from TUG1 deletion on ESCC cells. Besides, MCL-1 reversed the inhibitive effects from TUG1 deletion on expression of EMT-associated proteins (Wnt1, C-myc, CyclinD1, and β-catenin) above subsequently.

conclusionTUG1 regulated the biofunction and EMT progression of ESCC by mediating miR-148a-3p/MCL-1/Wnt/β-catenin axis in vitro.
