Transcribed Ultraconserved Regions: New regulators in cancer signaling and potential biomarkers.

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
The ultraconserved regions (UCRs) are 481 genomic elements, longer than 200 bp, 100% conserved in human, mouse, and rat genomes. Usually, coding regions are more conserved, but more than 80% of UCRs are either intergenic or intronic, and many of them produce long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). Recently, the deregulated expression of transcribed UCRs (T-UCRs) has been associated with pathological conditions. But, differently from many lncRNAs with recognized crucial effects on malignant cell processes, the role of T-UCRs in the control of cancer cell networks is understudied. Furthermore, the potential utility of these molecules as molecular markers is not clear. Based on this information, the present review aims to organize information about T-UCRs with either oncogenic or tumor suppressor role associated with cancer cell signaling, and better describe T-UCRs with potential utility as prognosis markers. Out of 481 T-UCRs, 297 present differential expression in cancer samples, 23 molecules are associated with tumorigenesis processes, and 12 have more clear potential utility as prognosis markers. In conclusion, T-UCRs are deregulated in several tumor types, highlighted as important molecules in cancer networks, and with potential utility as prognosis markers, although further investigation for translational medicine is still needed.
