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 non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are crucial participants in cancer development. HOXA cluster antisense RNA 2 (HOXA-AS2) plays a tumor promoter role in bladder cancer. However, the functional role of HOXA-AS2 in cervical cancer remains unclear. Our study first found that HOXA-AS2 expression was up-regulated in cervical cancer cells. Then functional analysis including cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), colony formation, transwell, and wound healing uncovered that reduction of HOXA-AS2 remarkably impeded cell proliferation and migration in cervical cancer. Additionally, luciferase reporter assays were performed to confirm that HOXA-AS2 activated Notch signaling pathway via the mediation of independent recombination signal binding protein for JK (RBP-JK) activity. As we know, Notch intracellular domain (NICD) is associated with RBP-JK in the nucleus to promote target genes in the Notch pathway. Through RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP), RNA pull down, and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) assays, we observed that HOXA-AS2 combined with NICD. Moreover, the data from Co-IP assays indicated that HOXA-AS2 reduction weakened the interaction of NICD and RBP-JK. Collectively, HOXA-AS2 played a cancer-promoting role in cervical cancer development by modulating the Notch pathway, which might become a novel target for cervical cancer treatment.
