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 noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) can promote hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) initiation and progression. In this report, we examined the role of lncRNA LINC02476 in HCC.

methodsThe expression levels of different lncRNAs in HCC were explored using the TCGA database and lncRNA LINC02476 was selected for further study. The expression of LINC02476 in HCC tissues was determined by real-time PCR. The clinicopathological characteristics of HCC patients were analyzed relative to the expression of LINC02476. The expression of LINC02476 was downregulated in HCC cells using a lentiviral vector and different assays were performed to study cell growth, proliferation, invasion, apoptosis and the cell cycle. MiR-497 was selected as a miRNA that could interact with LINC02476 which was further tested by RNA immunoprecipitation. HMGA2 was selected as a possible target of miR-497, and their interaction was examined by a luciferase reporter assay.

resultsLINC02476 expression was elevated in HCC cell lines and HCC tissues. When LINC02476 was downregulated, the growth and the invasion of HCC cells decreased in vitro and in vivo. LINC02476 negatively regulated the expression of miR-497 by acting as a ceRNA. HMGA2 was directly targeted and inhibited by miR-497.

conclusionThe results indicate that LINC02476 functions through the miR-497/HMGA2 axis and that it has a role in the growth and metastasis of HCC cells. Therefore, LINC02476 could be an interesting new molecular target in HCC therapies.
