LncRNA00978 contributes to growth and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma cells via mediating microRNA-125b-5p/SOX12 pathway.

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
As a malignant tumor, HCC (hepatocellular carcinoma) is featured by a high recurrence rate with a poor prognosis. Increasing evidence supports an important role of lincRNAs in HCC. Here, the purpose of the study was to explore the function of LINC00978 (long non-coding RNA00978) in HCC and the underlying mechanisms. LINC00978 expression and its association with the progression of HCC were analyzed using HCC TCGA datasets. LINC00978 expression in tissues was measured using real-time PCR. Then, we knocked down LINC00978 in HCC cells to explore its effect on cellular invasion, proliferation, and migration. Finally, we investigated the potential molecular mechanism of LINC00978 by dual Luciferase reporter assay, FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization) and RIP (RNA immunoprecipitation). LINC00978 expression was remarkably increased in HCC. A high level of LINC00978 was associated with poor prognosis of HCC. Additionally, LINC00978 silencing could repress the growth and metastasis of HCC cells. Mechanistically, it was revealed that LINC00978 could sponge microRNA-125b-5p and identified SOX12 (SRY-Box Transcription Factor 12) as a direct target gene of microRNA-125b-5p. More importantly, the suppressed effect of LINC00978 silencing on the metastasis and growth of HCC cells could be rescued by miR-125b-5p inhibition and overexpressed SOX12. LINC00978/microRNA-125b-5p/SOX12 axis promoted liver cancer migration, invasion, and proliferation, which could be used as a possible therapeutic target for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.
