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

Metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) is involved in the oncogenesis and progression of various types of cancer. However, the function of MALAT1 in hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HSCC) is not completely understood. In the present study, MALAT1 expression levels were determined using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR, and Cell Counting Kit-8, Transwell and flow cytometry assays were performed to investigate the biological functions of HSCC cells. The results indicated that MALAT1 was upregulated in HSCC. MALAT1 knockdown suppressed HSCC cell proliferation, migration and invasion, and promoted apoptosis compared with the control group. Additionally, microRNA (miR)-194 was identified as a target of MALAT1 and was expressed at low levels in HSCC tissues compared with adjacent non-tumor tissues. A miR-194 agomir inhibited malignant cell behaviors, including cell proliferation, migration and invasion, whereas miR-194 antagomir promoted malignant behaviors compared with the corresponding control groups. In addition, the results suggested that MALAT1 knockdown inhibited the malignant behaviors of HSCC cells by binding miR-194. miR-194 inhibition partially reversed the MALAT1 knockdown-induced inhibitory effects on HSCC cells. Furthermore, MALAT1 knockdown combined with miR194 mimics resulted in the lowest tumor volume among all tested groups
