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

backgroundLncRNA GAS8-AS1 has been reported to participate in several types of cancer, while its role in glioblastoma (GBM) is unknown. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the function of GAS8-AS1 in GBM and the underlying mechanisms.

methodsThe expression levels of GAS8-AS1 and NEAT1 in GBM patients and the healthy controls were measured by performing RT-qPCR. Diagnostic values of plasma GAS8-AS1 and NEAT1 for GBM were analyzed by performing ROC curve analysis with GBM patients as true positive cases and the healthy controls as true negative cases. Linear regression analysis was performed to study the correlation between the expression levels of GAS8-AS1 and NEAT1. The expression levels of GAS8-AS1 and NEAT1 in GBM cells were also determined by RT-qPCR. CCK-8 and transwell invasion assays were performed to detect the proliferation and invasion of GBM cells. Western blot assay was performed to detect the expression levels of β-catenin, Axin2, c-myc, cyclin D1, and GAPDH in GBM cells.

resultsGAS8-AS1 was downregulated, while lncRNA NEAT1 was upregulated in the plasma of GBM patients. Altered expression levels of GAS8-AS1 and NEAT1 distinguished GBM patients from the healthy controls. The expression of GAS8-AS1 and NEAT1 was inversely correlated only in GBM patients. Overexpression of GAS8-AS1 reduced the expression levels of NEAT1 in GBM cells, while knock-down of GAS8-AS1 increased the expression levels of NEAT1. However, overexpression of NEAT1 showed no significant effects on the expression of GAS8-AS1. Knock-down of GAS8-AS1 promoted GBM cell proliferation and invasion and enhanced the activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. However, the effects of knock-down of GAS8-AS1 were alleviated by the knock-down of NEAT1.

conclusionOverexpression of GAS8-AS1 inhibits GBM cell proliferation and invasion by downregulating NEAT1.
