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

Hypoxia has been identified as a common contributor to tumor progression, including invasion and metastasis. However, the underlying mechanisms of enhanced invasion and metastasis under hypoxia remain unclear. A hypoxic microenvironment promotes invasion and metastasis of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) by upregulating expression of LOC100506178, which we named hypoxia-induced long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) associated with RCC (lncHILAR). Knockdown of lncHILAR inhibited cell invasion and migration, whereas overexpression of lncHILAR, conversely, facilitated cell invasion and migration of RCC cells. Notably, hypoxic RCC cells secreted exosomes packaged with lncHILAR, which were taken up by normoxic RCC cells and then drove normoxic cell invasion. Mechanistically, lncHILAR elevated RCC invasion and metastasis by acting as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) for miR-613/206/1-1-3p, which led to the upregulation of Jagged-1 and the C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4). Activation of the Jagged-1/Notch/CXCR4 axis induced RCC metastasis. lncHILAR promotes RCC cell invasion and metastasis via ceRNA for the miR-613/206/1-1-3p/Jagged-1/Notch/CXCR4 axis. The novel lncHILAR may thus serve as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target in RCC.
