Long noncoding RNA MEG3 inhibits oral squamous cell carcinoma progression via GATA3.
Article in FEBS open bio, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) accounts for about 90% of oral cancers. Expression of the long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) maternally expressed 3 (MEG3) has previously been reported to be downregulated in OSCC, and its overexpression can inhibit proliferation, migration, and invasion and promote apoptosis of OSCC cells. However, the mechanism underlying MEG3 downregulation in OSCC has not been well characterized. Here we report that low expression of MEG3 is caused by H3K27me3 modification of the MEG3 gene locus, and this is associated with the poor prognosis of OSCC. Overexpression of MEG3 inhibited the proliferation and invasion of OSCC cells. We observed that MEG3 was modified by m6A and bound to YTHDC1. Enhancer-controlled genes positively regulated by MEG3 were functionally enriched for the 'negative regulation of Wnt signaling pathway' term, as determined using metascape. GATA3 was predicted to be a transcription factor for these genes, and was demonstrated to bind to MEG3. Knockdown of GATA3 countered the effects on proliferation, invasion, and increased transcription of HIC1 and PRICKLE1 induced by MEG3 overexpression. In conclusion, our data suggest that MEG3 is downregulated in OSCC due to trimethylation of H3K27 at the MEG3 gene locus. The inhibitory effect of MEG3 on proliferation and invasion of OSCC cells was dependent on the binding of GATA3.
