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

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are critical regulators in various biological processes involved in the hallmarks of cancer. Maternally expressed gene 3 (MEG3) is lncRNA that regulates target genes through transcription, translation, post-translational modification, and epigenetic regulation. MEG3 has been known as a tumor suppressor, and its downregulation could be found in various cancers. Furthermore, clinical studies revealed that impaired MEG3 expression is associated with poor prognosis and drug resistance. MEG3 exerts its tumor suppressive effect by suppressing various cancer hallmarks and preventing cells from acquiring cancer-specific characteristics; as it could suppress tumor cells proliferation, invasion, metastasis, and angiogenesis; it also could promote tumor cell death and regulate tumor cell metabolic reprogramming. Hence, MEG3 is a potential prognostic marker, and overexpressing MEG3 might become a potential antitumor therapeutic strategy. Herein, we summarize recent knowledge regarding the role of MEG3 in regulating tumor hallmarks as well as the underlying molecular mechanisms. Furthermore, we also discuss the clinical importance of MEG3, as well as their potential in tumor prognosis and antitumor therapeutic strategies.
