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

objectiveTo evaluate the predictive value of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) X-inactive specific transcript (XIST) for survival, and determine the involvement of miRNA(miR)-200b-3p and zinc finger E-box-binding homeobox (ZEB) 1/2 in the pro-tumor effect of lncRNA XIST in liver cancer.

methodsWe evaluated lncRNA XIST expression in liver cancer tissues and cell lines by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and analyzed the correlation between its expression and overall survival of liver cancer patients by Kaplan-Meier analysis. Its effects on cell proliferation, migration, and invasion were analyzed by Cell-Counting Kit-8 and Transwell assays. The association between lncRNA XIST and miR-200b-3p, and the effects of lncRNA XIST on ZEB1/2 expression were explored using luciferase reporter assays, real-time PCR, and western blotting.

resultsThe lncRNA XIST was significantly upregulated in liver cancer, and increased lncRNA XIST expression was associated with a poor prognosis. The lncRNA XIST promoted liver cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion

conclusionThe lncRNA XIST is an oncogenic lncRNA that promotes liver cancer metastasis, and its pro-metastatic phenotype can be partially attributed to the lncRNA XIST/miR-200b-3p/ZEB1/2 signaling axis.
