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 Endometrial cancer (EC) is one of the most common gynaecological tumours in the worldwide. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) nuclear enriched abundant transcript 1 (NEAT1) promotes cell proliferation, migration and invasion in EC cells. However, the molecular mechanisms of NEAT1 in EC have not been fully clarified. We conducted this study to reveal the function of NEAT1 in EC tissues and cell lines. Materials and methods Cancer and adjacent tissues were collected from EC patients. HEC-1A and Ishikawa cells were cultured in vitro. NEAT1 expression was downregulated by transfecting small hairpin RNA (shRNA) and miR-144-3p was overexpressed by transfecting miR-144-3p mimics. Cell proliferation was detected by MTT assay and colony formation assay. Cell migration and invasion abilities were assessed by transwell assay. A dual-luciferase reporter assay was used to verify the relationship among NEAT1, EZH2, and miR-144-3p. The expression level of EZH2 was measured by Western blot and qPCR. Results NEAT1 was highly expressed in EC tissues and cells. Knockdown of NEAT1 inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of EC cells. Additionally, NEAT1 acted as a ceRNA of miR-144-3p, leading to EZH2 upregulation. Overexpression of miR-144-3p suppressed the proliferation and invasion of EC cells. Conclusions NEAT1 promotes EC cells proliferation and invasion by regulating the miR-144-3p/EZH2 axis.
