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

introductionGrowing evidences imply that multiple long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a significant role in the treatment of cancer. Therefore, it is of great significance to discover new biomarkers or therapeutic targets of gastric cancer (GC). However, the potential molecular mechanism of lncPROX1-AS1 in GC remains unknown. The objective of current study is to investigate the effect of PROX1-AS1 in GC.

methodsThus, we detect that PROX1-AS1 is over-expressed in tissues and cell lines of GC using qRT-PCR analysis. CCK-8, colony formation, flow cytometry, wounding healing and transwell analyses were performed to explore the effect of PROX1-AS1 on GC malignant behaviors.

resultsIt is further disclosed that silencing of PROX1-AS1 represses cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, whereas promotes cell apoptosis in GC. Bioinformatics analysis suggests that miR-877-5p is negatively regulated by PROX1-AS1 and ectopic of miR-877-5p alleviates the malignant behaviors of GC. Subsequently, miR-877-5p suppresses the activity of PD-L1-3' UTR. At last, rescue assays demonstrated that the GC progression is suppressed by sh-PROX1-AS1 and facilitated on account of miR-877-5p inhibitors and then is retrieved by sh-PD-L1. DISCUSSION: Our findings reveal that PROX1-AS1 exerts its role via miR-877-5p/PD-L1 axis in the GC progression, suggesting that PROX1-AS1 may represent a new therapeutic target for the diagnosis and treatment of GC patients.
