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

introductionLong non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have obtained increasing attention due to their regulatory functions in many cancers. This work aimed to investigate the functional roles of lncRNA TTN-AS1 in colorectal cancer (CRC) and to explore the underlying mechanisms.

methodsThe expression profiles of TTN-AS1 and miR-497 in CRC tissues and cell lines were determined by RT-qPCR analysis. MTT assay, transwell assay, western blot analysis, and xenograft tumors in nude mice were employed to analyze the effects of TTN-AS1 on the proliferation, migration, invasion, EMT, and in vivo tumorigenesis of CRC cells. Bioinformatics analysis and dual-luciferase reporter assay determined the direct binding relation between TTN-AS1 and miR-497 in CRC.

resultsWe observed a significant increase of TTN-AS1 expression level in CRC tissues and cell lines compared with normal counterparts. High expression of TTN-AS1 predicted a poor prognosis and was correlated with aggressive clinicopathological characteristics in CRC patients. Functionally, gain- and loss-of-function studies indicated that TTN-AS1 knockdown suppressed the proliferation, migration, invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of CRC cells in vitro, whereas TTN-AS1 overexpression showed the complete opposite effects. Mechanistically, we found that TTN-AS1 could directly interact with miR-497, and co-transfection with miR-497 mimics blocked the activation of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling, and reversed the effects of TTN-AS1 overexpression in CRC cells.

conclusionTo conclude, our findings provide novel insight into CRC tumorigenesis and indicate that TTN-AS1 may serve as a potential therapeutic target for CRC treatment.
