High expression of long non-coding RNA Linc-A associates with poor survival in patients with colorectal cancer.
Trial report in Molecular biology reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
Long intergenic non-coding RNA for kinase activation (Linc-A) has been reported to enhance the occurrence and progression of breast cancer. Nevertheless, whether Linc-A is related to the tumorigenesis of colorectal cancer (CRC) remains unknown. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the expression of Linc-A in colon adenocarcinoma and explore the correlation between Linc-A and prognosis of CRC. The expression of Linc-A in human colon tissues was evaluated by qRT-PCR, which contained 15 pairs of human colon adenocarcinoma and paracancerous tissues and other 65 colon adenocarcinoma tissues. A total of 80 patients were divided into low and high expression groups according to the Linc-A levels. The levels of Linc-A in colon adenocarcinoma was higher than that in paracancerous tissues (p = 0.047). Furthermore, high expression of Linc-A was associated with advanced TNM stage (p = 0.013), positive lymph nodes (p = 0.024), low 5-year survival rate (p = 0.024) and even 10-year survival rate (p = 0.007). Besides, Linc-A, advanced age, advanced TNM stage, deep infiltration degree and positive lymph nodes were also found to be positively related to poor overall 5-year survival by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis(p < 0.05). Then, multivariable Cox regression analysis revealed that Linc-A was an independent risk factor for prognosis of colon adenocarcinoma (p = 0.047). In conclusion, high expression of Linc-A is associated with advanced TNM stage, lymphatic metastasis and poor survival in patients with CRC. Linc-A may be served as a candidate prognostic biomarker for CRC.
