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

Long intergenic noncoding RNA smad7 (Linc-smad7) has been recently identified as a new long non-coding RNA (lncRNA). However, the role of Linc-smad7 in the tumourigenesis of human cancers remains unknown. This study uncovered that Linc-smad7 was increased in HCC samples and HCC cell lines using RT-qPCR assays. Furthermore, the overexpression of Linc-smad7 indicated poor clinicopathological features and outcomes for HCC patients. In addition, Linc-smad7 promoted HCC cells proliferation, migration, invasion and EMT, as determined by MTT, colony formation, Transwell assays and western blot analysis. Functionally, it was demonstrated that Linc-smad7 could bind with microRNA-125b (miR-125b), and the restoration of miR-125b rescued the promoting effects of Linc-smad7 on HCC cells. Finally, it was observed that sirtuin 6 (SIRT6) was positively regulated by Linc-smad7 in HCC as the direct target of miR-125b, and decreased SIRT6 reversed the effects of Linc-smad7 on promoting HCC. In conclusion, the current study first identified Linc-smad7 is increased in HCC, facilitating HCC cells proliferation, migration, invasion and EMT via regulating the miR-125b/SIRT6 axis.
