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

The present work aimed to explore LINC00839 expression level and its function in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and identify the downstream molecular mechanisms. qRT-PCR (Real-Time Quantitative Reverse Transcription PCR) and western blot were employed to detect mRNA and protein levels. Functional investigations were performed by flow cytometric-based apoptosis assay, CCK8 (Cell Counting Kit-8) assay, clone formation assay, Transwell migration and invasion assay. Functional interactions between LINC00839 and miR-144-3p or miR-144-3p and WTAP were validated by dual luciferase reporter assay. siRNA (small interfering RNA) was used for LINC00839 silencing, and microRNA mimic or inhibitor were employed to modulate miR-144-3p activity. LINC00839 was upregulated in HCC cells and tissues. Silencing LINC00839 suppressed the proliferation, invasion, migration of HCC cells and induced apoptosis. Additionally, LINC00839 served as a sponge to negatively impact on miR-144-3p activity, which contributed to the high expression of WTAP (WT1 Associated Protein) and the malignant phenotype of HCC cells. Our study revealed an oncogenic role of LINC00839 in HCC, and identified miR-144-3p/WTAP axis as downstream effectors mediating the oncogenic function of LINC00839. LINC00839 might serve as a potential therapeutic target and prognostic marker for HCC.
