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

Increasing evidence has demonstrated the important roles of long non‑coding (lnc) RNA in non‑small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). lncRNA gastric cancer‑associated transcript 1 (GACAT1) has been reported to play an oncogenic role in different types of cancer; however, the function of GACAT1 in NSCLC remains unclear. The present study found that GACAT1 was overexpressed in NSCLC tissues and was associated with poor outcomes in patients with NSCLC. Functional experiments revealed that GACAT1 downregulation inhibited proliferation, induced apoptosis and cell cycle arrest of 2 NSCLC cell lines. GACAT1 was found to target microRNA(miR)‑422a mechanically and negatively regulated miR‑422a expression. Reduced expression of miR‑422a in NSCLC tissues was inversely correlated with that of GACAT1. Furthermore, YY1 transcription factor (YY1) was identified as a downstream miR‑422a target. Reduced expression of GACAT1 inactivated YY1 by sponging miR‑422a in NSCLC cells. YY1 reintroduction reversed the reduced proliferation of NSCLC cells via GACAT1 knockdown. Taken together, these results revealed the novel role of the GACAT1/miR‑422a pathway in the progression of NSCLC cell lines, providing a possible therapeutic strategy for NSCLC treatment.
