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

introductionClear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is an aggressive human malignancy. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are critical regulators in many malignant tumors, including ccRCC. The aim of this study is to investigate the expression, functions and molecular mechanisms of lncRNA TTN-AS1 in ccRCC.

methodsA total of 145 paired cancer and normal tissues were collected from patients with ccRCC. The expression levels of TTN-AS1 and miR-195 in the tissues or cells were measured by RT-qPCR analysis. The expression levels of cyclin D1 protein were measured by Western blot analysis. Cell proliferation and cell cycle distribution were detected by MTT assay and flow cytometer analysis, respectively. The binding relationship between miR-195 and TTN-AS1 or cyclin D1 mRNA was validated by dual-luciferase reporter assay.

resultsOur results revealed that TTN-AS1 expression levels in human ccRCC tissues and cell lines were markedly increased. High expression of TTN-AS1 was closely associated with adverse clinicopathological characteristics of ccRCC patients. Gain- and loss-of-function experiments showed that TTN-AS1 overexpression promoted the proliferation and cell cycle transition of ccRCC cells, while the malignant traits were obviously suppressed after TTN-AS1 knockdown. Mechanistically, miR-195 was found to bind with and to be negatively regulated by TTN-AS1 in ccRCC cells. Further, we showed that cyclin D1 is a direct target of miR-195 in ccRCC, and rescue assays verified that restoration of miR-195 expression partially blocked the oncogenic effects of TTN-AS1 in ccRCC cells.

conclusionOur study provides a novel mechanism of TTN-AS1/miR-195/cyclin D1 regulatory axis in ccRCC, which may become a breakthrough for ccRCC therapy in the future.
