Long non-coding RNA DSCAS regulates cisplatin sensitivity in lung squamous cell carcinoma by competitively binding to miR-646-3p.

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
Background: Platinum-based chemotherapy is the main treatment for advanced lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC). Eventually, patients with LUSC develop resistance to cisplatin, which affects the prognosis. Hence, the researchers sought to find a lncRNA in LUSC that affects resistance to cisplatin. Methods: The lncRNA microarray assay was used to screen the differential expression of lncRNA. qPCR was used to detect lncRNA DSCAS (DSCAS) expression in tissues and cell lines. Lentiviral transfection was used to regulate the expression of DSCAS. CCK-8, colony formation, wound healing, transwell, and flow cytometry assays were used to assess the biological behaviors and sensitivity to cisplatin of LUSC cell. RNA-RNA interaction was tested using the dual luciferase reporting assay, RNA-IP, and RNA-RNA pull-down assay. The downstream pathway of DSCAS was verified by qPCR and Western blotting assays. Results: DSCAS was highly expressed in LUSC tissues and cells, and its expression levels were higher in cisplatin-insensitive tissues than in cisplatin-sensitive tissues. Elevation of DSCAS promoted cell proliferation, migration and invasion as well as increased cisplatin resistance of lung cancer cells, while demotion of DSCAS inhibited cell proliferation, migration and invasion as well as decreased the cisplatin resistance of lung cancer cells. DSCAS bound to miR-646-3p to regulate the expression of Bcl-2 and Survivin, which affected the cell apoptosis and sensitivity to cisplatin in LUSC cells. Conclusions: DSCAS regulates biological behavior and cisplatin sensitivity in LUSC cells by competitively binding to miR-646-3p to mediate the expression of Survivin and Bcl-2, known as apoptosis-related proteins.
