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

backgroundLaryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is a common type of malignant tumors of larynx, and in this study, we aimed to evaluate the functional role of long non-coding RNA TRPM2-AS in LSCC.

methodsThe expression levels of TRPM2-AS in LSCC tissues and cell lines were detected by RT-qPCR analysis. In vitro functional assays, including MTT assay and transwell assay, were performed to explore the biological effects of TRPM2-AS on LSCC cells. The expression levels of EMT-relevant proteins were detected by Western blot analysis. The interaction between TRPM2-AS and miR-138 in LSCC, predicted by bioinformatic method, was verified by dual-luciferase reporter assay.

resultsWe observed that TRPM2-AS was highly expressed in human LSCC tissues and cell lines. LSCC patients with advanced clinical stage exhibited higher intratumoral TRPM2-AS expression. The results of functional assays demonstrated that TRPM2-AS knockdown remarkably inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of LSCC cells, whereas TRPM2-AS overexpression showed opposite effects. In mechanism, we further observed that TRPM2-AS directly bound to miR-138 and served as competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA), thereby increasing SOX4 expression and promoting EMT in LSCC. The oncogenic effects of TRPM2-AS in LSCC cells were partly diminished by miR-138 restoration.

conclusionIn short, our findings provided first evidence that TRPM2-AS is highly expressed and exerts its oncogenic role in LSCC partly by miR-138/SOX4 axis.
