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

backgroundHOXA cluster antisense RNA2 (HOXA-AS2), a long-chain non-coding RNA, plays an important role in the behavior of various malignant tumors. The roles of HOXA-AS2 in endometrial cancer remain unclear.

methodsWe test expression levels of HOXA-AS2, miRNA-302c-3p, the transcription factor zinc finger X-chromosomal protein (ZFX), and the chitinase-like protein YKL-40 in endometrial carcinoma by qRT-PCR and western blotting. Luciferase reporter and qRT-PCR assays were conducted to identify potential binding sites of HOXA-AS2 to miRNA-302c-3p. Cell cycle, migration and invasion ability of endometrial cancer cells were investigated using flow-cytometric analysis, CCK-8 and transwell assays, respectively.

resultsHOXA-AS2 levels were significantly increased in endometrial cancer specimens compared to normal endometrial specimens. Upregulated HOXA-AS2 promoted invasion and proliferation of type I endometrial cancer cells. HOXA-AS2 silenced miRNA-302c-3p by binding to it. MiRNA-302c-3p negatively regulates ZFX and YKL-40. Thus HOXA-AS2 promotes the development of type I endometrial cancer via miRNA-302c-3p-mediated regulation of ZFX.

conclusionsThese findings suggest that HOXA-AS2 can act as a new therapeutic target for type I endometrial cancer.
