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

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), are transcripts longer than 200 nucleotides that are considered to be vital regulators of many cellular processes, particularly in tumorigenesis and cancer progression. long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 261 (LINC00261), a recently discovered lncRNA, is abnormally expressed in a variety of human malignancies, including pancreatic cancer, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, breast cancer, laryngeal carcinoma, endometrial carcinoma, esophageal cancer, prostate cancer, choriocarcinoma, and cholangiocarcinoma. LINC00261 mainly functions as a tumor suppressor that regulates a variety of biological processes in the above-mentioned cancers, such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, motility, chemoresistance, and tumorigenesis. In addition, the up-regulation of LINC00261 is closely correlated with both favorable prognoses and many clinical characteristics. In the present review, we summarize recent research documenting the expression and biological mechanisms of LINC00261 in tumor development. These findings suggest that LINC00261, as a tumor suppressor, has bright prospects both as a biomarker and a therapeutic target.
