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

Several lines of evidence have shown that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are dysregulated in many diseases. Nevertheless, the biological relevance of the lncRNAs in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) has not been fully explored. We demonstrated that CTC was a negative regulator of PTC cell migration and invasion in vitro and in vivo. We found that microRNA-146 (miR-146) is an inhibitory target of CTC. We then demonstrated that CTC functioned as a miR-146 decoy to de-repress expression of KIT. Further study demonstrated that CTC modulated the progression and chemoresistance of PTC cells via miR-146 and KIT. The analysis of hundreds of clinical specimens revealed that CTC and KIT levels were downregulated, whereas miR-146 levels were greater in PTC tissues than in normal thyroid. Their expression levels correlated with one another. In conclusion, CTC functions as a competing endogenous RNA to inhibit the progression and chemoresistance of PTC cells, and identifies CTC serve as a potential therapeutic agent to suppress PTC progression.
