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

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the leading lethal malignancies and a hypervascular tumor. Although some long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been revealed to be involved in HCC. The contributions of lncRNAs to HCC progression and angiogenesis are still largely unknown. In this study, we identified a HCC-related lncRNA, CMB9-22P13.1, which was highly expressed and correlated with advanced stage, vascular invasion, and poor survival in HCC. We named this lncRNA Progression and Angiogenesis Associated RNA in HCC (PAARH). Gain- and loss-of function assays revealed that PAARH facilitated HCC cellular growth, migration, and invasion, repressed HCC cellular apoptosis, and promoted HCC tumor growth and angiogenesis in vivo. PAARH functioned as a competing endogenous RNA to upregulate HOTTIP via sponging miR-6760-5p, miR-6512-3p, miR-1298-5p, miR-6720-5p, miR-4516, and miR-6782-5p. The expression of PAARH was significantly positively associated with HOTTIP in HCC tissues. Functional rescue assays verified that HOTTIP was a critical mediator of the roles of PAARH in modulating HCC cellular growth, apoptosis, migration, and invasion. Furthermore, PAARH was found to physically bind hypoxia inducible factor-1 subunit alpha (HIF-1α), facilitate the recruitment of HIF-1α to VEGF promoter, and activate VEGF expression under hypoxia, which was responsible for the roles of PAARH in promoting angiogenesis. The expression of PAARH was positively associated with VEGF expression and microvessel density in HCC tissues. In conclusion, these findings demonstrated that PAARH promoted HCC progression and angiogenesis via upregulating HOTTIP and activating HIF-1α/VEGF signaling. PAARH represents a potential prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for HCC.
