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

purposeST7 antisense RNA 1 (ST7-AS1) is a long noncoding RNA that affects the progression of gastric cancer and laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Herein, ST7-AS1 expression was detected in cervical cancer tissues and cell lines. In addition, its biological roles in inducing the aggressive phenotype of cervical cancer and its associated mechanisms of action were illustrated. PATIENTS AND

methodsST7-AS1 expression in cervical cancer tissues and cell lines was detected using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Malignancy was determined using Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, flow cytometry, transwell migration and invasion assays, and xenograft experiments. Bioinformatics analysis was performed to predict the interaction between ST7-AS1 and microRNA-543 (miR-543). Luciferase reporter assay, RNA immunoprecipitation assay, Western blotting, qRT-PCR, and rescue experiments were performed to further identify the interactions among ST7-AS1, miR-543, and transient receptor potential melastatin 7 (TRPM7).

resultsST7-AS1 was upregulated in cervical cancer tissues and cell lines. ST7-AS1 overexpression was correlated with a high International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage, frequent lymph node metastasis, deep cervical invasion, and short overall survival in patients with cervical cancer. ST7-AS1 inhibition hindered cervical cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion; ST7-AS1 downregulation resulted in marked cell apoptosis. Additionally, ST7-AS1 deficiency restricted cervical tumor growth in vivo. Mechanistically, ST7-AS1 functioned as competing endogenous RNA to increase TRPM7 expression by sponging miR-543. Intriguingly, rescue experiments revealed that miR-543 downregulation or TRPM7 overexpression abrogated the inhibitory actions of ST7-AS1 knockdown in the aggressive phenotype of cervical cancer cells.

conclusionThe newly identified ST7-AS1/miR-543/TRPM7 axis promoted the oncogenicity of cervical cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo. Our study highlighted the importance of this novel axis in cervical cancer progression, suggesting that this pathway can serve as a promising therapeutic target for cervical cancer.
