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

backgroundWe aimed to explore the relationship between hypoxia-inducible factors-1α (HIF-1α) and lncRNA nuclear-enriched abundant transcript 1 (NEAT1), and their functions on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) under hypoxia.

methodsHIF-1α and NEAT1 levels in HCC tissues and corresponding non-tumor tissues were determined by qRT-PCR, and the correlations of their levels in HCC tissues were analyzed by Pearson test. The relationship between overall survival and the two genes (HIF-1α and NEAT1) for HCC patients was detected by log-rank test. Clinicopathological features of NEAT1 in HCC patients were collected. HIF-1α and NEAT1 levels in HCC cells were measured by qRT-PCR and Western blot, and their relationship was determined by co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) assay. Cell viability, migration and invasion were detected by CCK-8, scratch wound healing and transwell assay, respectively. The interaction of NEAT1 with HIF-1α in tumor development was determined by xenograft tumor assays in nude mice.

resultsNEAT1 and HIF-1α were highly expressed and showed a positive relationship in HCC tissues, and specifically, higher NEAT1 expression was positively associated with advanced TNM stage and metastasis in HCC patients. Up-regulated NEAT1 or HIF-1α in HCC patients had poorer prognosis. NEAT1 was induced by HIF-1α and suppressed by siHIF-1α. NEAT1 overexpression further promoted development of HCC under hypoxia while promoting cell viability, migration and invasion and suppressing apoptosis, and such effects were reversed by down-regulating HIF-1α. NEAT1 overexpression promoted tumor growth, which was reversed by down-regulating HIF-1α.

conclusionHIF-1α knockdown inhibits NEAT1 expression, which suppresses progression of HCC and improves its prognosis.
