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

backgroundAlthough the fact that long non-coding RNA MCM3AP antisense RNA 1 (MCM3AP-AS1) is oncogenic in several cancers is well documented, very few researchers investigate its expression and function in prostate cancer.

methodsPaired prostate cancer samples were selected, and expressions of MCM3AP-AS1, miR-876-5p and WNT5A were examined by qRT-PCR. MCM3AP-AS1 shRNA was transfected into LNCaP and PC-3 cell lines, and then the proliferative activity and apoptosis of cancer cells were detected by CCK-8 assay, EdU assay and flow cytometry analysis, respectively. qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to analyze the changes of miR-876-5p and WNT5A. Luciferase reporter gene assay was employed to determine the regulatory relationship between miR-876-5p and MCM3AP-AS1, miR-876-5p and WNT5A.

resultsMCM3AP-AS1 was significantly up-regulated in cancerous tissues of prostate cancer samples, positively correlated with the expression of WNT5A, while negatively related with miR-876-5p. After transfection of MCM3AP-AS1 shRNA into prostate cancer cells, the proliferative ability of cancer cells was signally inhibited, but the apoptosis of cancer cells was increased. MCM3AP-AS1 shRNA could reduce the expression of WNT5A on both mRNA and protein levels. Besides, MCM3AP-AS1 was identified as a sponge of miR-876-5p. WNT5A was validated as a target gene of miR- 876-5p.

conclusionMCM3AP-AS1 is abnormally up-regulated in prostate cancer tissues and can modulate the proliferation and apoptosis of prostate cancer cells, which has the potential to be the "ceRNA" to regulate the expression of WNT5A by targeting miR-876-5p.
