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

Evidence has documented the tumor-promoting properties of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) FOXD2 adjacent opposite strand RNA 1 (FOXD2-AS1) in many cancers. However, little is known about its role in gallbladder cancer. Here, we aimed to characterize the functional relevance of lncRNA FOXD2-AS1 in gallbladder cancer and the possible mechanisms associated with methylation of MutL homolog-1 (MLH1). Initially, microarray-based gene expression profiling of gallbladder cancer was employed to identify differentially expressed lncRNAs. Next, the expression of lncRNA FOXD2-AS1 was examined, and the cell line presenting with the highest lncRNA FOXD2-AS1 expression was selected for subsequent experimentation. Then, the interaction between lncRNA FOXD2-AS1 and MLH1 was identified. The effect of lncRNA FOXD2-AS1 on proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis as well as tumorigenicity of transfected GBC-SD cells was examined with gain- and loss-of-function experiments. We found that lncRNA FOXD2-AS1 was highly expressed, while MLH1 was poorly expressed in gallbladder cancer cells. Besides, lncRNA FOXD2-AS1 could promote MLH1 methylation by recruiting DNMT1 to the MLH1 promoter, and consequently inhibit MLH1 transcription. Silencing of lncRNA FOXD2-AS1 or overexpression of MLH1 inhibited gallbladder cancer cell proliferation, invasion, and migration, while facilitating cell apoptosis in vitro as well as retarding tumor growth in vivo. Thus, silencing of lncRNA FOXD2-AS1 suppressed the progression of gallbladder cancer via upregulation of MLH1 by inhibiting MLH1 promoter methylation. These findings present lncRNA FOXD2-AS1 knockdown as a potential candidate for the treatment of gallbladder cancer.
