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

backgroundSubstantial evidence indicate that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) and microRNA (miRNA) act as key role in bladder cancer. Differentiation antagonistic ncRNA (DANCR) could be used as a biomarker in the occurrence and development of cancer. This study aims to explore the mechanism of DANCR/miR-335/VEGF-C axis affecting lymphatic metastasis of bladder cancer.

methodsqRT-PCR detects the expression of DANCR in bladder cancer cell lines (SW780, 5637, T24, UM-UC-3) and normal bladder cell lines (SV-HUC-1), and selects T24 cell lines for subsequent experiments. The expression levels of DANCR, miR-335 and VEGF were measured by qRT-PCR, and the dual luciferase reporter gene verified the targeted regulation of DANCR on miR-335 and miR-335 on VEGF. CCK-8, Transwell and Wound healing assay detect the proliferation, invasion and migration ability of bladder cancer cells, Endothelial cell adhesion assay and Western blot further prove the lymphatic metastasis of bladder cancer.

resultsIn this study, DANCR was highly expressed in bladder cancer cell lines. Transfection of si-DANCR significantly inhibits the proliferation, migration, invasion and lymphatic metastasis of bladder cancer cells. Dual luciferase assay confirmed that DANCR targets miR-335/VEGF-C. Transfection of miR-335 mimic promotes the proliferation, migration, invasion and lymphatic metastasis of bladder cancer cells, overexpression of DANCR eliminates the promotion of miR-335 mimic on bladder cancer cells. Further experiments proved that inhibition of miR-335 and overexpression of VEGF-C can reverse the inhibitory effect of silencing DANCR on bladder cancer cells.

conclusionsIn bladder cancer, DARCR plays an important role, which regulates the proliferation, migration, invasion and lymphatic metastasis of bladder cancer cells through the miR-335/VEGF-C molecular axis.
