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

objectiveTo investigate the effect of overexpression of LncRNA MEG3 on proliferation, migration and cisplatin sensitivity of hepatoma cells HepG2 and LM3 and explore the underlying and mechanism.

methodsThe expression of MEG3 in healthy individuals and patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was analyzed by online bioinformatics analysis, and Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to detect MEG3 expression in different HCC cell lines. A MEG3-overexpresing plasmid was transfected in HepG2 and LM3 cells, and the changes in cell proliferation and migration were examined using CCK8 assay and scratch assay. CCK8 assay was used to determine the inhibitory rate of cisplatin on the transfected cells. A reactive oxygen species (ROS) fluorescence probe (DCFH-DA) and malondialdehyde (MDA) kit were used to assess the changes in ROS production and MDA level in the cells. Western blotting was performed to detect the expression levels of ferroptosis-related proteins glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and ferritin heavy chain 1 (FTH1).

resultsThe expression of MEG3 was significantly lower in HCC cells than in LO2 cells, which was consistent with the results of bioinformatic analysis (

conclusionThe expression of MEG3 is decreased in HCC cells, and its overexpression inhibits proliferation and migration and enhances cisplatin sensitivity of HCC cells by promoting ferroptosis of the cells.
