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

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a type of otolaryngological malignancy with high incidence. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are closely related to nasopharyngeal carcinoma. LncRNA AFAP1-AS1 (AFAP1-AS1) has been found to play important roles in nasopharyngeal carcinoma progression and poor prognosis. However, the mechanism underlying AFAP1-AS1 in regulating nasopharyngeal carcinoma is still unclear. In current study, AFAP1-AS1 was found to be up-regulated in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues and cells. AFAP1-AS1 overexpression and knockdown were conducted in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells. The results proved that AFAP1-AS1 promoted the survival and migration of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells. Additionally, specificity protein 1 (SP1) was enhanced in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues and cells, and induced AFAP1-AS1 expression. The interaction between AFAP1-AS1 and miR-497-5p was confirmed. AFAP1-AS1 was demonstrated to regulate CELF1, a target gene of miR-497-5p. Further functional analysis revealed that AFAP1-AS1 knockdown attenuated SP1-induced nasopharyngeal carcinoma progression. These results indicate that SP1-induced AFAP1-AS1 facilitates nasopharyngeal carcinoma progression by regulating miR-497-5p/CELF1 pathway, which provides a new target for nasopharyngeal carcinoma treatment.
