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

backgroundWe aim to identify the expression and analyze the molecular action of dysregulated lncRNA-miRNA mediated by XBP-1 in colorectal cancer (CRC).

methodsHere, we identified XBP-1-mediated dysregulated lncRNAs and miRNAs in CRC by bioinformatics analysis. The expression level of lncRNAs and miRNA was measured using quantitative real time PCR, and the expression of XBP-1, as well as apoptosis-related proteins, were detected by western blot. CCK-8 and TUNEL assays were performed to determine cell proliferation and apoptosis, respectively. Luciferase reporter assay was conducted to verify the binding relationship among lncRNA-miRNA-XBP-1. BALB/c nude mice were inoculated subcutaneously with HCT116 cells to establish tumor-bearing mice model. Histological analysis was carried out by HE staining and immunohistochemical staining.

resultsSix downregulated lncRNAs (SLFNL1-AS1, KCNQ1OT1, NEAT1, XIST, AC016876.2, AC026362.1), four dysregulated miRNAs (miR-500a-3p, miR-370-3p, miR-2467-3p, miR-512-3p) and upregulated XBP-1 were identified in CRC cell lines. Gain- and loss-of-function experiments showed that overexpression of KCNQ1OT1/XIST promoted cell proliferation and suppressed cell apoptosis. In addition, overexpression of KCNQ1OT1/XIST partly abolished the inhibitory effects of XBP-1u knockdown or tunicamycin, an activator of endoplasmic reticulum stress, on CRC cell viability loss and apoptosis. Furthermore, KCNQ1OT1/XIST aggravated tumor growth in vivo by regulating endoplasmic reticulum stress and cell apoptosis.

conclusionsThis study has constructed lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA networks based on XBP-1 in CRC, and disclosed the regulatory mechanism of action, providing a set of pivotal biomarkers for future molecular investigation and targeted treatment of CRC.
