Long Non-coding RNA EPIC1 Promotes Cell Proliferation and Motility and Drug Resistance in Glioma.
Article in Molecular therapy oncolytics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Evidence has revealed that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in carcinogenesis and tumor progression. lncRNAs play an important role in regulation of numerous cellular processes including cell proliferation, apoptosis, cell cycle, differentiation, and motility. Several studies have demonstrated that lncRNA EPIC1 governs cell growth, cell cycle, migration, invasion, and drug resistance in human malignancies. However, the role of EPIC1 and its underlying molecular mechanisms in glioma have not been investigated. In this study, we determined the function of EPIC1 in glioma cells via upregulation or downregulation of EPIC1. We further dissected the mechanism of EPIC1-mediated tumor progression in glioma. Our results showed that inhibition of EPIC1 suppressed cell viability, induced apoptosis, inhibited cell invasion, and increased cell sensitivity to temozolomide in glioma cells. Consistently, overexpression of EPIC1 exhibited the opposite effects in glioma cells. Moreover, our data suggest that EPIC1 exerts its biological functions via targeting Cdc20 in glioma cells. In line with this, overexpression of Cdc20 reversed the EPIC1-mediated tumor progression in glioma cells. Therefore, targeting EPIC1 might be a useful approach for glioma treatment.
