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

Some long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been documented to be involved in cancer progression and anticancer drug resistance in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Thus, approaches designed to target these genes may facilitate the development of promising strategies for treating HCC. Previously, we showed that lncRNA BBOX1-AS1 was highly expressed and played an oncogenic role in HCC. However, the potential functions and mechanisms through which BBOX1-AS1 regulates HCC progression and drug resistance remain unclear. This study revealed that BBOX1-AS1 could promote tumor progression, autophagy, and drug resistance by upregulating PHF8 in HCC cells. Mechanistically, BBOX1-AS1 enhanced the stability of PHF8 mRNA by targeting the PHF8 inhibitor miR-361-3p to regulate tumor progression and autophagy in HCC. The functional rescue experiments showed that PHF8 acted as a key factor in regulating the biological effects induced by BBOX1-AS1 and miR-361-3p in HCC, indicating that BBOX1-AS1 promotes tumor progression and sorafenib resistance by regulating miR-361-3p/PHF8. Finally, mouse tumor models and patient-derived organoid models were established to further confirm these findings. Taken together, the results demonstrate that BBOX1-AS1 promotes HCC progression and sorafenib resistance via the miR-361-3p/PHF8 axis.
