Long non-coding RNA NRSN2-AS1, transcribed by SOX2, promotes progression of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma by regulating the ubiquitin-degradation of PGK1.

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
Aberrant expression of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) plays pivotal roles in tumorigenesis of human malignant cancers, including esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). However, the specific role of lncRNA NRSN2-AS1 in ESCC has not been investigated. Our analysis of clinical data revealed that NRSN2-AS1 was upregulated in ESCC tissues and negatively correlated with patient survival. Luciferase reporter assays and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays demonstrated that NRSN2-AS1 is transcribed by SOX2. In vitro functional experiments showed that NRSN2-AS1 can promote ESCC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Furthermore, NRSN2-AS1-binding proteins were detected using RNA pull-down assays and mass spectrometry. Mechanistically, NRSN2-AS1 can bind to phosphoglycerate kinase 1 (PGK1) and upregulate its protein levels by inhibiting its ubiquitination. Knockdown of PGK1 in part abolished the NRSN2-AS1 overexpression-induced effects on ESCC cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and epithelial‑mesenchymal transition (EMT). Thus, NRSN2-AS1 may be a diagnostic biomarker or treatment target for ESCC.
