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

Metastasis-associated-lung-adenocarcinoma-transcript-1 (MALAT1) is a long non-coding RNA that is considered a potential tumor marker. The present study aimed to investigate the effect and mechanism of MALAT1 on cell proliferation and apoptosis in thymic cancer cells. IU-TAB-1, A549, HCT-116 and 293T cells were screened by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR to assess high-mobility group AT-hook 2 (HMGA2) expression in various types of cancer cells and were transfected with small interfering (si)RNA targeting MALAT1 (si-MALAT1). Cell proliferation was evaluated by Cell Counting Kit-8 assay. Cell apoptosis and cell cycle were examined using flow cytometry. The protein expression of cyclin D1, cyclin E, Bax, Bcl-2 and HMGA2 was determined by western blot analysis, while the associations between MALAT1 and microRNA (miR)-145-5p and between HMGA2 and miR-145-5p were determined by luciferase reporter assay. Among the four cell lines evaluated, IU-TAB-1 showed the highest expression of MALAT1; thus, IU-TAB-1 cells were selected for subsequent experiments. Compared with the findings in the control group, si-MALAT1 significantly decreased the cell proliferation of IU-TAB-1 cells, whereas the apoptosis levels and number of cells in G
