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

objectiveThe long non-coding RNA zinc finger E-box-binding homeobox 1 antisense 1 (ZEB1-AS1) acts as an oncogenic regulator in many human tumours. In the present study, we identify the role and potential molecular biological mechanisms of ZEB1-AS1 in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD).

methodsQRT-PCR was used to detect the expression of ZEB1-AS1, miR-455-3p and p21-activated kinases 2 (PAK2) in COAD tissues. CCK8 assay, EdU assay, transwell assay and scratch wound assay were used to explore the biological function of ZEB1-AS1 in COAD cells. Bioinformatics, luciferase reporter assays and an RNA pull-down assay were used to demonstrate the mechanism of ZEB1-AS1. We further explore the role of ZEB1-AS1 in vivo though xenograft tumour assay.

resultsWe found that ZEB1-AS1 expression was significantly up-regulated in COAD tissues, and high ZEB1-AS1 level was correlated with the poor prognosis of COAD patients. MiR-455-3p plays an anti-cancer role in COAD by targeting PAK2. We confirmed that ZEB1-AS1 promotes PAK2 expression by sponging miR-455-3p, thus facilitating COAD cell growth and metastasis.

conclusionsTo sum up, this result illustrates the novel molecular mechanism of ZEB1-AS1 in COAD and provides a new target for the diagnosis and treatment of COAD patients.
