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

The transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β)/Smads signal plays an important role in cancer metastasis by mediating the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in cancer cells. lnc-TSI is a recently identified long noncoding RNA that negatively regulates the TGF-β/Smads signal. The present study was conducted to test the hypothesis that lnc-TSI inhibits metastasis in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) by regulating the TGF-β/Smad3 pathway. Herein, we show that lnc-TSI was upregulated in ccRCC cells and tissue and was associated with activation of the TGF-β/Smads signal. Depleting lnc-TSI enhanced tumor cell invasion and metastasis in vitro and ccRCC lung metastasis in vivo, whereas overexpressing lnc-TSI inhibited ccRCC cell invasion and tumor metastasis. Mechanistic studies indicated that lnc-TSI specifically inhibited the phosphorylation of Smad3 and subsequent EMT by binding with the MH2 domain of Smad3 to block the interaction between Smad3 and TGF-β receptor I in ccRCC cells. In a cohort of 150 patients with ccRCC, expression of lnc-TSI in tumors was negatively correlated with phosphorylated (p)Smad3 and activated EMT markers. Patients with expression of tumor lnc-TSI greater than or equal to the median at radical nephrectomy had a higher survival rate compared to those with lnc-TSI below the median during follow-up. These findings reveal a new regulatory mechanism of ccRCC metastasis and suggest a potential molecular target for the development of anti-cancer drugs.
