Identification of Long Non-Coding RNA Profiles and Potential Therapeutic Agents for Fibrolamellar Carcinoma Based on RNA-Sequencing Data.

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
backgroundFibrolamellar carcinoma (FLC) is a rare type of liver cancer that primarily affects adolescents and young adults without prior liver disease or viral infections. Patients with FLC generally have non-specific symptoms, are often diagnosed at a later stage, and experience a higher frequency of metastases compared to patients with other liver cancers. A fusion transcript of DNAJB1 and PRKACA, which can lead to increased activity of PKA and cellular proliferation, has been identified in all FLC patients, but the exact mechanism through which FLC develops remains unclear. In this study, we investigated common lncRNA profiles in various FLC samples using bioinformatics analyses.
methodsWe analyzed differentially expressed (DE) lncRNAs from three RNA sequencing datasets. Using lncRNAs and DE mRNAs, we predicted potential lncRNA target genes and performed Gene Ontology (GO) and KEGG analyses with the DE lncRNA target genes. Moreover, we screened for small-molecule compounds that could act as therapeutic targets for FLC.
resultsWe identified 308 DE lncRNAs from the RNA sequencing datasets. In addition, we performed a trans-target prediction analysis and identified 454 co-expressed pairs in FLC. The GO analysis showed that the lncRNA-related up-regulated mRNAs were enriched in the regulation of protein kinase C signaling and cAMP catabolic processes, while lncRNA-related down-regulated mRNAs were enriched in steroid, retinol, cholesterol, and xenobiotic metabolic processes. The analysis of small-molecule compounds for FLC treatment identified vitexin, chlorthalidone, triamterene, and amiloride, among other compounds.
conclusionsWe identified potential therapeutic targets for FLC, including lncRNA target genes as well as small-molecule compounds that could potentially be used as treatments. Our findings could contribute to furthering our understanding of FLC and providing potential avenues for diagnosis and treatment.
