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 non‑coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as key players in the development and progression of cancer. FEZ family zinc finger 1 antisense RNA 1 (FEZF1‑AS1) is a novel lncRNA that is involved in the development of cancer and acts as a potential biomarker for cancer. However, the clinical significance and molecular mechanism of FEZF1‑AS1 in non‑small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains uncertain. In the present study, FEZF1‑AS1 was selected using Arraystar Human lncRNA microarray and was identified to be upregulated in NSCLC tissues and negatively associated with the overall survival of patients with NSCLC. Loss‑of‑function assays revealed that FEZF1‑AS1 inhibition decreased cell proliferation and migration, and arrested cells at the G2/M cell cycle phase. Mechanistically, FEZF1‑AS1 expression was influenced by N6‑methyladenosine (m6A) modification. Since FEZF1‑AS1 was mainly located in the cytoplasmic fraction of NSCLC cells, it was hypothesized that it may be involved in competing endogenous RNA regulatory network to impact the prognosis of NSCLC. Via integrating Arraystar Human mRNA microarray data and miRNA bioinformatics analysis, it was revealed that ITGA11 expression was decreased with loss of FEZF1‑AS1 and increased with gain of FEZF1‑AS1 expression, and microRNA (miR)‑516b‑5p inhibited the expression levels of both FEZF1‑AS and ITGA11. RNA‑binding protein immunoprecipitation and RNA pulldown assays further demonstrated that FEZF1‑AS1 could bind to miR‑516b‑5p and that ITGA11 was a direct target of miR‑516b‑5p by luciferase reporter assay. Overall, the present findings demonstrated that FEZF1‑AS1 was upregulated and acted as an oncogene in NSCLC by regulating the ITGA11/miR‑516b‑5p axis, suggesting that FEZF1‑AS1 may be a potential prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for NSCLC.
