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) are key regulators or a range of diseases and chronic conditions such as cancers, but how they function in the context of ovarian cancer (OC) is poorly understood. The Coding-Potential Assessment Tool was used to assess the likely protein-coding potential of SNHG7. SNHG7 expression was elevated in ovarian tumour tissues measured by qRT-PCR. The online database JASPAR was used to predict the transcription factors binding to SNHG7. Twenty-four-well Transwell plates were used for invasion assays. RNA immunoprecipitation was performed to determine RNA-protein associations. EdU assay was introduced to detect cell proliferation. Chromatin immunoprecipitation was performed to confirm the directly interaction between DNA and protein. We discovered that in the context of OC there is a significant up-regulation of the lncRNA SNHG7. Knocking down this lncRNA disrupted both OC cell invasion and proliferation, while its overexpression had the opposite effect. SP1 binding sites were present in the SNHG7 promoter, and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) confirmed direct SP1 binding to this region, activating SNHG7 transcription. We found that at a mechanistic level in OC cells, KLF2 is a probable SNHG7 target, as we found that SHNCCC16 directly interacts with EZH2 and thus represses KLF2 expression. In summary, this research demonstrates that lncRNA SNHG7 is an SP1-activated molecule that contributes to OC progression by providing a scaffold whereby EZH2 can repress KLF2 expression.
