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

Glioma is the most common type of primary brain cancer in adults. Accumulating studies have reported that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) serve a significant role in the initiation and development of glioma. lncRNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 7 (SNHG7) has been previously demonstrated to serve a role in numerous glioma biological processes, including cell proliferation, invasion and migration. The present study aimed to investigate the role of SNHG7 in glioma through reverse transcription-quantitative PCR, western blotting and cell function assays. The results revealed that SNHG7 expression was upregulated in glioma tissues and cell lines, while microRNA (miR)-138-5p expression was downregulated. Moreover, the knockdown of SNHG7 expression decreased the proliferation of glioma cells. Mechanistic studies demonstrated that SNHG7 downregulated miR-138-5p expression, which subsequently affected the expression levels of its target gene, enhancer of zeste 2 polycomb repressive complex 2 subunit (EZH2). In conclusion, the results of the present study suggested that SNHG7 may act as a competing endogenous RNA to sponge miR-138-5p and modulate EZH2 expression. Thus, SNHG7 may enhance glioma proliferation via modulating the miR-138-5p/EZH2 signaling axis.
