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

backgroundHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is often diagnosed at a late stage, when the prognosis is poor. The regulation of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) plays a crucial role in HCC. However, the precise regulatory mechanisms of lncRNA signaling in HCC remain largely unknown. Our study aims to investigate the underlying mechanisms of lncRNA (upregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma) URHC in HCC.

objectiveTo study the in vivo and in vitro localization and biological effects of URHC on liver cancer cells. Through bioinformatics analysis, dual-luciferase reporter gene analysis and rescue experiments revealed the possible mechanism of URHC.

methodsRT-qPCR, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) staining, EdU, colony formation, and tumor xenograft experiments were used to identify localized and biological effects of URHC on HCC cells in vitro and in vivo. The bioinformatics analysis, dual-luciferase reporter assay, and rescue experiments revealed the potential mechanism of URHC.

resultsURHC silencing may inhibit the HCC cells' proliferation in vitro and in vivo. We found that URHC was mainly localized in the cytoplasm. The expression of miR-5007-3p was negatively regulated by URHC. And miR-5007-3p could reverse the effect of URHC in HCC cells. The expression of DNAJB9 was negatively regulated by miR-5007-3p but positively regulated by URHC. These suggestive of lncRNA-URHC positively regulated the level of DNAJB9 by sponging miR-5007-3p.

conclusionTogether, our study elucidated the role of URHC as a miRNA sponge in HCC and shed new light on lncRNA-directed diagnostics and therapeutics in HCC.
