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 (lncRNA) play crucial roles in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression. However, the specific functions of lncRNAs in alternative splicing (AS) and the metastatic cascade in liver cancer remain largely unclear. In this study, we identified a novel lncRNA, LINC01348, which was significantly downregulated in HCC and correlated with survival functions in HCC patients. Ectopic expression of LINC01348 induced marked inhibition of cell growth, and metastasis in vitro and in vivo. Conversely, these phenotypes were reversed upon knockdown of LINC01348. Mechanistically, LINC01348 complexed with splicing factor 3b subunit 3 (SF3B3) acted as a modulator of EZH2 pre-mRNA AS, and induced alterations in JNK/c-Jun activity and expression of Snail. Notably, C-terminal truncated HBx (Ct-HBx) negatively regulated LINC01348 through c-Jun signaling. Our data collectively highlight those novel regulatory associations involving LINC01348/SF3B3/EZH2/JNK/c-Jun/Snail are an important determinant of metastasis in HCC cells and support the potential utility of targeting LINC01348 as a therapeutic strategy for HCC.
