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

Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) represents a class of endogenous RNAs that regulate gene expression in eukaryotes. To date, the function and underlying mechanism of the majority of mammalian lncRNAs remain unknown. Here, we report that MACC1-AS1, a cognate antisense lncRNA of the sixth intron of the MACC1 gene, functions as a cell growth modulator and enhances breast tumor progress. RNA pulldown and luciferase assays showed that MACC1-AS1 contained binding sites for multiple miRNAs, including well-known tumor suppressors miR-384 and miR-145-3p that repress the expression of pleiotrophin (PTN) and c-Myc mRNAs. Binding of miR-384 and miR-145-3p miRNAs to MACC1-AS1 alters the cell growth phenotype through increased expression of PTN and c-Myc mRNAs. MACC1-AS1 also competitively interacted with PTBP1, an RNA-binding protein, via a conserved pyrimidine rich motif within this lncRNA. Binding of PTBP1to MACC1-AS1 not only stabilized MACC1-AS1 and enhanced the sponge effect of MACC1-AS1 on miRNAs, but also decreased PTBP1 availability for binding to target mRNAs. Our results define a new dimension into how a lncRNA is able to regulate cell growth by sponging multiple miRNAs and an RNA-binding protein.
