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

purposeEsophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC) has high rates of recurrence and mortality. Small nucleolar RNA host gene 12 (SNHG12) is known to promote the progression of several cancers. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the expression and role of SNHG12 in ESCC.

methodsThe expression and clinical value of SNHG12 in esophageal cancer were explored using data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the online server GEPIA. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to verify the expression levels of SNHG12 in ESCC tissues and cell lines. Furthermore, loss-of-function assays were performed to examine the effect of SNHG12 on ESCC cells in vitro and in vivo. The potential competing endogenous RNA networks of SNHG12 in ESCC were explored.

resultsSNHG12 was downregulated in human ESCA tissues compared to control tissues. The expression of SNHG12 was strongly associated with T stage, N stage, and TNM stage. Low SNHG12 expression in esophageal tumor tissues was significantly correlated with poor prognosis. Furthermore, knockdown of SNHG12 not only promoted proliferation, colony formation, migration, and invasion and inhibited apoptosis in ESCC cells in vitro, but also increased tumor growth in vivo. Additionally, this proves that the SNHG12/miRNA-195-5p/BCL9 network might be involved in ESCC.

conclusionThis is the first study to reveal that SNHG12 is downregulated in ESCC tissues and could be used as a prognostic tool. SNHG12 suppressed tumor progression in ESCC cells, serving as a potential biomarker. The SNHG12/miRNA-195-5p/BCL9 network is proposed to be the mechanism leading to ESCC progression.
