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

purposePreviously, we found that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) MEG3 may act as a tumour suppressor in retinoblastoma. Overall, however, little is known about the role of lncRNAs in retinoblastoma. Here, we aimed to determine the expression and clinical significance of lnc00152 in retinoblastoma.

methodsLnc00152 and its downstream targets were selected using GEO datasets. The level of lnc00152 in primary patient samples was determined using RT-qPCR. Odds ratios of invasion and metastasis were calculated using logistic regression analysis. Recurrence-free survival was assessed using Cox regression analysis. Scratch wound healing, transwell and tumorigenesis assays were used to determine migration and invasion abilities of retinoblastoma cells in vitro and in vivo. Levels of EMT-related proteins were measured using Western blotting. Binding sites between lnc00152 and its targets were validated using dual-luciferase reporter and RNA pull-down assays. Lnc00152 activating transcription factors were determined using ChIP assays.

resultsWe found that Lnc00152 was significantly up-regulated in retinoblastoma tumour tissues, and was a risk factor for tumour invasion, metastasis and recurrence. Lnc00152 overexpressing retinoblastoma cells exhibited a tendency to transform into mesenchymal cells, with significantly increased migration and invasion capacities, significantly decreased E-cadherin expression levels, and significantly increased N-cadherin, SOX9 and ZEB2 expression levels. In addition, we found that lnc00152, which was activated by Sp1, could inhibit miR-30d as an endogenous miRNA 'sponge', thereby regulating the expression of SOX9 and ZEB2.

conclusionsOur data indicate that Lnc00152 may be associated with retinoblastoma invasion, metastasis and prognosis. In addition, we conclude that Lnc00152, which can be activated by Sp1, can induce EMT via the miR-30d/SOX9/ZEB2 pathway and, by doing so, promote the invasion and metastasis of retinoblastoma cells.
