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

Based on epidemiological data provided by the World Health Organization (2018), cancer is the second most prevalent cause of death worldwide. Several factors are thought to contribute to the high mortality rate in cancer patients, including less-than-optimal diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Thus, there is an urgent need to identify accurate biomarkers with diagnostic, prognostic, and potential therapeutic applications. In this regard, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) hold immense potential due to their regulatory roles in cancer development and associated cancer hallmarks. Recently, CASC9 transcripts have attracted significant attention due to their altered expression during the pathogenesis of cancer and their apparent contributions to various cancer-associated phenotypes involving a broad spectrum of molecular mechanisms. Here, we have provided an in-depth review describing the known functions of the lncRNA CASC9 in cancer development and progression.
