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

Long non‑coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have critical functions in non‑small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) growth. In the present study, we showed that lncRNA‑CCAT1 was upregulated in NSCLC tissues. High expression of lncRNA‑CCAT1 was related to tumor growth and reduced survival rate. We used short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) to inhibit the expression of lncRNA‑CCAT1 in NSCLC cells. In vitro and in vivo results demonstrated that lncRNA‑CCAT1 knockdown suppressed tumor proliferation and induced apoptosis. Furthermore, microRNA‑218 (miR‑218) was confirmed as an effective target of lncRNA‑CCAT1 in NSCLC. B lymphoma Mo‑MLV insertion region 1 homolog (BMI‑1), which served as a downstream target of miR‑218, was also inhibited by lncRNA‑CCAT1 knockdown. In conclusion, the present study indicated that upregulation of lncRNA‑CCAT1 in NSCLC is associated with tumor malignant potential. lncRNA‑CCAT1 enhances tumor growth in NSCLC by directly inhibiting miR‑218 and indirectly increasing BMI‑1 expression.
