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

backgroundRecently, more and more evidence indicated that the long non-coding RNA was strictly related to the occurrence and progression of human cancers, including esophageal cancer (EC). We observed that LINC00667 was increased in EC, but the function of LINC00667 was unclear. Therefore, the function and potential molecular mechanism of LINC00667 in the progression of EC need to be further studied.

methodsQuantitative real-time PCR was used to investigate the levels of LINC00667, miR-200b-3p, and SLC2A3. The levels of protein involved in cell cycle, cell apoptosis, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, as well as SLC2A3 were quantitatived by western blot. The role of LINC00667 in the proliferative, migratory and invasive capabilities of EC cells were measured by cell counting kit-8 assay, EdU assay, flow cytometry assay, wound healing assay and transwell assay, respectively. Interaction between LINC00667 and miR-200b-3p or miR-200b-3p and SLC2A3 were confirmed using a luciferase reporter assay.

resultsIn this work, we found that LINC00667 expression was up-regulated in EC cell lines, and LINC00667 knockdown inhibited cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in EC cells. In addition, it showed that LINC00667 functioned as competitive endogenous RNA for miR-200b-3p by the DIANA-LncBase database. Moreover, we used targetscan online software to predict SLC2A3 as a target gene of miR-200b-3p. Subsequently, rescue experiments confirmed that knocking out SLC2A3 could reverse the inhibitory effect of miR-200b-3p on EC cells transfected with sh-LINC00667.

conclusionHerein, we revealed the novel mechanism of LINC00667 on regulating metastasis-related gene by sponge regulatory axis during EC metastasis. Our results demonstrated that LINC00667 plays a critical role in metastatic EC by mediating sponge regulatory axis miR-200b-3p/SLC2A3. To explore function of LINC00667/miR-200b-3p/SLC2A3 axis may provide an informative biomarker of malignancy and a highly selective anti-EC therapeutic target.
