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

Esophageal cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. FAM225A is a novel lncRNA, only has been explored in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tumorigenesis. This study aims to investigate the regulatory mechanism of FAM225A in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). We discovered that FAM225A exhibited higher expression in ESCC. The silence of FAM225A attenuated cell viability, migration, and invasion, but facilitated cell apoptosis in ESCC. Exosome-mediated transfer of lncRNA FAM225A could participate in ESCC progression. In addition, we found that miR-206 bound to FAM225A. Moreover, we further demonstrated that FAM225A absorbed miR-206 to upregulate NETO2 and FOXP1 expression, and FOXP1 acted as a transcription factor to enhance FAM225A expression. Eventually, it was revealed that the overexpression of NETO2 or FOXP1 rescued the effects of FAM225A repression on ESCC progression. Our results suggested that FAM225A upregulated NETO2 and FOXP1 expression by sponging miR-206 to accelerate ESCC progression and angiogenesis. These results determined the biological role of lncRNA FAM225A in ESCC tumorigenesis, and FAM225A may be a promising biomarker for ESCC treatment.
