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

Lung cancer is a global disease and a major cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Accumulated studies have confirmed the essential role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the occurrence and development of cancers. Meanwhile, there have been reports concerning the role of Small Nucleolar RNA Host Gene 3 (SNHG3) in various cancers. However, there are so far few studies on the function and mechanism of SNHG3 in lung cancer. In the present study, SNHG3 was found to be highly expressed in lung cancer tissues and cells. Downregulation of SNHG3 could inhibit cell proliferation, migration, invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process. In addition, SNHG3 was found to have the ability to bind to miR-515-5p. Furthermore, Small Ubiquitin Like Modifier 2 (SUMO2) was identified to be the downstream target of miR-515-5p, which was negatively correlated with miR-515-5p expression. SNHG3 could positively regulate SUMO2 expression by sponging miR-515-5p. In addition, the rescue experiment showed that simultaneous transfection of miR-515-5p or SUMO2 siRNA could reverse the effect of SNHG3 expression on cell proliferation and metastasis. Collectively, our study demonstrates that SNHG3 can act on miR-515-5p in the form of competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) to regulate SUMO2 positively and thus affect the proliferation and metastasis of NSCLC cells. Findings in our study support that SNHG3/miR-515-5p/SUMO2 regulatory axis may become a potential therapeutic target for lung cancer.
