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

backgroundNasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), with distinct geographical distribution, has gathered public attention. Despite that radiotherapy and chemotherapy are applied to treat NPC, cell metastasis still cannot be avoided. Numerous works have elucidated that lncRNAs are essential players in the development of multiple cancers. LncRNA SNHG7 has been reported as a contributing factor in the occurrence of certain cancers, but its mechanism in NPC deserves further investigation. The purpose of the study is to figure out the role and molecular regulation mechanism of SNHG7 in NPC.

methodsThe role of SNHG7 in NPC was verified by CCK-8, colony formation, EdU staining, western blot and capase-3 assays. The interactions between SNHG7/ELAVL1 and miR-514a-5p were confirmed by RNA pull down, RT-qPCR, RIP and luciferase reporter assays.

resultsSNHG7 was upregulated in NPC cells, and absence of SNHG7 suppressed cell proliferation as well as promoted cell apoptosis in NPC. Furthermore, SNHG7 was confirmed to bind with miR-514a-5p and negatively modulate miR-514a-5p expression. Besides, miR-514a-5p was found to be able to bind with ELAVL1 and negatively regulate ELAVL1 mRNA and protein expressions. In the end, rescue assays demonstrated that the miR-514a-5p deficiency restored the NPC progression inhibited by SNHG7 silence, and ELAVL1 partly counteracted the restoration caused by miR-514a-5p inhibitor in HNE1 cells.

conclusionsLncRNA SNHG7 promotes the proliferation and migration of nasopharyngeal carcinoma by miR-514a-5p/ ELAVL1 axis.
