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

backgroundGastric cancer (GC) is a common leading cause of cancer-related mortality of all malignancies. LncRNA hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha antisense RNA-2 (HIF1A-AS2) has been identified to involve in the development of GC. Therefore, we further explored the detailed molecular mechanism of HIF1A-AS2 in GC progression.

methodsThe expression of HIF1A-AS2, microRNA-429 (miR-429), and programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) was measured using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and western blot. Cell proliferation, migration, and invasion abilities were detected by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) or transwell assay. The interaction between miR-429 and HIF1A-AS2 or PD-L1 was confirmed by luciferase reporter assay. Murine xenograft model was established to investigate the role of HIF1A-AS2 in vivo.

resultsHIF1A-AS2 was elevated in GC tissues and cell lines. Functional experiments showed that HIF1A-AS2 knockdown inhibited GC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in vitro, as well as hindered tumor growth in vivo. Moreover, HIF1A-AS2 directly bound to miR-429 based on bioinformatics prediction and luciferase assay, and inhibition of miR-429 abolished the effects of HIF1A-AS2 knockdown on GC cells. Furthermore, miR-429 directly targeted PD-L1, and overexpression of miR-429 suppressed GC tumorigenesis via PD-L1. Besides that, PD-L1 also performed an oncogenic role in GC cell proliferation and metastasis. Additionally, HIF1A-AS2 could indirectly regulate PD-L1 expression via sponging miR-429.

conclusionHIF1A-AS2 is a dependable predictor of malignancy and prognosis in GC and functions as an oncogene to promote GC cell proliferation and metastasis by regulating miR-429/PD-L1 axis, indicating a new insight into the search for novel biomarkers and therapeutic strategies.
