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 noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have important regulatory roles in cancer biology. Although some lncRNAs have well-characterized functions, the vast majority of this class of molecules remains functionally uncharacterized. To systematically pinpoint functional lncRNAs, a computational approach was proposed for identification of lncRNA-mediated competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) through combining global and local regulatory direction consistency of expression. Using esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) as model, we further identified many known and novel functional lncRNAs acting as ceRNAs (ce-lncRNAs). We found that most of them significantly regulated the expression of cancer-related hallmark genes. These ce-lncRNAs were significantly regulated by enhancers, especially super-enhancers (SEs). Landscape analyses for lncRNAs further identified SE-associated functional ce-lncRNAs in ESCC, such as HOTAIR, XIST, SNHG5, and LINC00094. THZ1, a specific CDK7 inhibitor, can result in global transcriptional downregulation of SE-associated ce-lncRNAs. We further demonstrate that a SE-associated ce-lncRNA, LINC00094 can be activated by transcription factors TCF3 and KLF5 through binding to SE regions and promoted ESCC cancer cell growth. THZ1 downregulated expression of LINC00094 through inhibiting TCF3 and KLF5. Our data demonstrated the important roles of SE-associated ce-lncRNAs in ESCC oncogenesis and might serve as targets for ESCC diagnosis and therapy.
