Long non-coding RNA SMASR inhibits the EMT by negatively regulating TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway in lung cancer.
Article in Oncogene, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers.
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.
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
TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway plays an important role in EMT during cancer progression. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in various behaviors of cancer cells, including EMT. Here, we report a novel lncRNA adjacent to Smad3, named Smad3-associated long non-coding RNA (SMASR). SMASR is downregulated by TGF-β via Smad2/3 in lung cancer cells. Knockdown of SMASR induces EMT and increases the migration and invasion of lung cancer cells. Moreover, knockdown of SMASR promotes the phosphorylation of Smad2/3. Mechanistically, SMASR interacts with Smad2/3 and inhibits the expression of TGFBR1, the TGF-β type I receptor responsible for phosphorylation of Smad2/3, thus leading to inactivation of TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway. Clinically, SMASR is downregulated in lung cancer tissues. Collectively, our findings prove a critical role of SMASR in EMT of lung cancer by forming a negative feedback loop with TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway.
