LINK-A: unveiling its functional role and clinical significance in human tumors.
Review in Frontiers in cell and developmental biology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
LINK-A, also recognized as LINC01139, has emerged as a key oncological lncRNA in cancer. LINK-A is upregulated in solid and liquid tumor samples, including breast cancer, ovarian cancer, glioma, non-small-cell lung cancer, and mantle cell lymphoma. Notably, LINK-A is involved in regulating critical cancer-related pathways, such as AKT and HIF1α signaling, and is implicated in a range of oncogenic activities, including cell proliferation, apoptosis, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), cell invasion and migration, and glycolysis reprogramming. LINK-A's differential expression and its correlation with clinical features enable it to be a promising biomarker for cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and the stratification of tumor progression. Additionally, LINK-A's contribution to the development of resistance to cancer therapies, including AKT inhibitors and immunotherapy, underscores its potential as a therapeutic target. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the available data on LINK-A, focusing on its molecular regulatory pathways and clinical significance. By exploring the multifaceted nature of LINK-A in cancer, the review aims to offer a valuable resource for future research directions, potentially guiding the development of novel therapeutic strategies targeting this lncRNA in cancer treatment.
