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

backgroundLong non-coding RNA (lncRNA) has been found to play a crucial role in carcinogenesis and in evaluating prognosis of multiple neoplasms. PANDAR (promoter of CDKN1A antisense DNA damage activated RNA), a newly discovered cancer-associated RNA is abnormally expressed in a wide variety of tumors. Expression and the functional role of PANDAR in human oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), however, needs to be completely elucidated.

methodsQuantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was applied to detect expression levels of lncRNA PANDAR in OSCC tissues and corresponding paracancerous normal tissues in 92 OSCC patients, four OSCC cell lines, and a normal oral keratinocytes cell line. Association between expression of PANDAR and clinicopathological features of OSCC patients was also analyzed. For analysis of overall survival data, Kaplan-Meier curves were constructed. The prognostic value of PANDAR was examined by Cox regression analysis. PANDAR levels were knocked down in OSCC cell line Tca8113 by using PANDAR siRNA. Function of PANDAR on tumor cell proliferation, migration, and invasion was further evaluated by MTT and Transwell assays

resultsPANDAR was highly expressed in OSCC tissues and cell lines (P < 0.05) and its high expression level was found to be closely associated with advanced TNM stage (P = 0.004) and positive distant metastasis (P = 0.001). Furthermore, overall survival rate of OSCC patients with high PANDAR expression was poorer than patients with low PANDAR expression (P < 0.001). Cox proportional hazards model analysis showed that expression level of PANDAR can be used as an independent prognostic indicator for OSCC. Functionally, knockdown of PANDAR can inhibit proliferation, invasion, and migration of OSCC cells.

conclusionsOur findings indicate that PANDAR may serve as a promising prognostic biomarker and a new molecular target for new therapies for OSCC patients.
