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

backgroundOral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a common cancer especially young people in the world. The long non-coding RNA Fer-1-like protein 4 (FER1L4) has been reported to be closely associated with the progression of various human cancers. However, the role of FER1L4 in OSCC remains unclear.

methodsThe expression level of FER1L4 in OSCC tissues and cancer cell lines was detected by using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Cell proliferation was evaluated by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and EdU staining assay. Cell invasion and migration were evaluated by Transwell assay. Cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. Luciferase reporter assay was performed to determine the targeting relationship between FER1L4, miR-133a-5p and Prx1. The protein expression of Prx1 was detected by Western blot. In addition, a xenograft tumor model in vivo was constructed to confirm the function of FER1L4.

resultsFERIL4 was significantly upregulated in OSCC tissues and cancer cell lines. Moreover, high level of FER1L4 predicted a poor prognosis of OSCC patients. Silencing of FER1L4 not only significantly inhibited cell growth, invasion, migration and induced apoptosis in SCC-9 and HN4 cells in vitro, but also effectively suppressed the tumorigenesis of OSCC cells in vivo. Knockdown of FER1L4 significantly enhanced the expression of miR-133a-5p by sponging it, and then downregulated Prx1 expression.

conclusionOur study elucidated a new mechanism of lncRNA FER1L4 that promoting OSCC progression by directly targeting miR-133a-5p/Prx1 axis and provided novel therapeutic targets for OSCC.
