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

objectiveLong non-coding RNA (lncRNA) expression is closely related to the pathogenesis and progression of various tumors. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms of lncRNA HOXB cluster antisense RNA 3 (HOXB-AS3), miRNA(miR)-498-5p, and disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein 9 (ADAM9) in endometrial carcinoma (EC) cells.

methodsThe expression levels of lncRNA HOXB-AS3 in EC tissues and cells were detected using RT-qPCR assays. The effects of HOXB-AS3 knockdown on EC cell proliferation and apoptosis were measured using CCK-8 assays, colony formation assays, and flow cytometry. In addition, putative miR-498-5p binding sites were identified in HOXB-AS3 and ADAM9. The targeted relationships were further verified using dual-luciferase reporter and RNA pull-down assays.

resultsHOXB-AS3 expression was upregulated in EC tissues and cells. EC cell proliferation and viability decreased significantly in HOXB-AS3 knockdown groups. A putative miR-498-5p binding site in HOXB-AS3 was verified. Inhibition of miR-498-5p rescued the effects of HOXB-AS3 knockdown on cell proliferation and apoptosis. Finally, ADAM9 was verified as a direct target gene of miR-498-5p.

conclusionsOur results suggest that lncRNA HOXB-AS3 is highly expressed in EC tissues and cells. Downregulation of HOXB-AS3 inhibits cell proliferation and promotes apoptosis in EC cells. HOXB-AS3 can upregulate ADAM9 expression by sponging miR-498-5p.
