Long non-coding RNA PCAT5 regulates the progression of Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma via miR-4295/PHF20.
Article in Heliyon, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been discovered through many studies to play a crucial role in tumor progression. LncRNA PCAT5 has been identified as a human cancer-related gene in diverse cancers. However, the specific role of PCAT5 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) still needs further study. The study aimed to test the PCAT5 expression and find its biological function in ESCC. Functional experiments, including EdU, transwell and TUNEL, were done in the chosen ESCC cell lines under silenced PCAT5. Luciferase reporter and Western blot experiments were implemented to ensure the possible regulatory mechanism involved in ESCC. PCAT5 presented higher expression in ESCC cells in comparison to normal cells. The silence of PCAT5 restrained ESCC cell abilities of proliferation, migration and invasion. On the contrary, it accelerated ESCC cell apoptosis. The results of rescue experiments showed that PCAT5 regulated ESCC cell proliferative, migrated, invasive and apoptotic abilities via sponging miR-4295 to up-regulate PHF20.
