LncRNA SLCO4A1-AS1 Accelerates Growth and Metastasis of Gastric Cancer
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveRecently, long noncoding RNA SLCO4A1 antisense RNA 1 (SLCO4A1-AS1) has been shown to act as an oncogene in several cancer types; however, its role in gastric cancer (GC) and its underlying molecular mechanisms are yet to be elucidated.
methodsUsing the ENCORI database, we identified SLCO4A1-AS1, miR-149-5p (miR-149), and the X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIAP) whose expressions were obviously changed in GC samples, and analyzed the correlation between their expressions in GC samples. Moreover, we explored the expression of SLCO4A1-AS1, miR-149, and XIAP in clinical samples and GC cell lines using RT-qPCR and western blotting assay; the correlation between them was analyzed using RNA immunoprecipitation and dual-luciferase reporter. CCK-8, colony formation, and Transwell assays were conducted to determine the effects of SLCO4A1-AS1, miR-149, and XIAP expression on cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, respectively. A nude mouse xenograft model was used to explore their function in xenograft growth.
resultsSLCO4A1-AS1 was significantly upregulated in the GC samples and cell lines, and a high level of SLCO4A1-AS1 was associated with an advanced tumor stage and shortened patient survival. Mechanistically, SLCO4A1-AS1 post-transcriptionally regulated XIAP by functioning as competing endogenous RNA in GC to sponge miR-149. Further functional assays revealed that the overexpression of miR-149 and knockdown of XIAP considerably inhibited GC cell viability and its migratory and invasive characteristics
conclusionsAltogether, these findings suggest that SLCO4A1-AS1 functions as a crucial oncogenic lncRNA in GC and it can facilitate GC tumor growth and metastasis by interacting with miR-149 and enhancing XIAP expression. Therefore, SLCO4A1-AS1 is a potential novel therapeutic target in GC treatment.
