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

Oral submucosal fibrosis (OSF) is one of the pre-cancerous lesions of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Its malignant rate is increasing, but the mechanism of malignancy is not clear. We previously have elucidated the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) expression profile during OSF progression at the genome-wide level. However, the role of lncRNA ADAMTS9-AS2 in OSF progression via extracellular communication remains unclear. lncRNA ADAMTS9-AS2 is down-regulated in OSCC tissues compared with OSF and normal mucous tissues. Low ADAMTS9-AS2 expression is associated with poor overall survival. ADAMTS9-AS2 is frequently methylated in OSCC tissues, but not in normal oral mucous and OSF tissues, suggesting tumour-specific methylation. Functional studies reveal that exosomal ADAMTS9-AS2 suppresses OSCC cell growth, migration and invasion in vitro. Mechanistically, exosomal ADAMTS9-AS2 inhibits AKT signalling pathway and regulates epithelial-mesenchymal transition markers. Through profiling miRNA expression profile regulated by exosomal ADAMTS9-AS2, significantly enriched pathways include metabolic pathway, PI3K-Akt signalling pathway and pathways in cancer, indicating that exosomal ADAMTS9-AS2 exerts its functions through interacting with miRNAs during OSF progression. Thus, our findings highlight the crucial role of ADAMTS9-AS2 in the cell microenvironment during OSF carcinogenesis, which is expected to become a marker for early diagnosis of OSCC.
