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

backgroundLong noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have critical regulatory functions in biological and pathological activities during osteosarcoma progression. It is important to elucidate the expression pattern and reveal the underlying mechanisms of the newly identified lncRNAs.

methodsHerein, we screened the differentially expressed lncRNAs in osteosarcoma tumors and cell lines using lncRNA microarray. The candidate lncRNA was further verified by qRT-PCR, and the association of gene expression with clinicopathological features was evaluated by Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis. The targeting miRNA was identified using starBase analysis, and the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network was established by STRING. Overexpression and silence of RNA were detected by qRT-PCR. Osteosarcoma cell proliferation was measured with CCK-8 assay, and the migration and invasion were evaluated with Transwell assay. Colony formation assay was observed. Flow cytometry evaluated the cell cycle. Western blot was performed to detect the mitotic markers and apoptosis-related proteins. A nude mouse tumor formation experiment was used to evaluate osteosarcoma progression

resultsHCG9 was identified as osteosarcoma-associated lncRNA. Osteosarcoma tissues and cell lines expressed higher levels of HCG9 as compared to normal tissues and osteoblasts, and high expression of HCG9 was further proved to be related to metastasis and the grade of osteosarcoma in clinical cases. Knockdown of HCG9 inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of osteosarcoma cells. miR-34b-3p was identified as the target of HCG9, and RAD51 acted as a potential target of miR-34b-3p. Cooverexpressing miR-34b-3p with HCG9 partially suppressed the HCG9-stimulated proliferation, migration, and invasion of osteosarcoma cells

conclusionWe discovered that lncRNA HCG9 promoted the proliferation of osteosarcoma cells via suppressing miR-34b-3p. Our study provides novel biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets for osteosarcoma treatment.
