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

backgroundMetastasis is the leading cause of mortality in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) and angiogenesis is a crucial factor in tumor invasion and metastasis. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play regulatory functions in various biological processes in tumor cells, however, the roles of lncRNAs in CRC-associated angiogenesis remain to be elucidated in CRC, as do the underlying mechanisms.

methodsWe used bioinformatics to screen differentially expressed lncRNAs from TCGA database. LOC101928222 expression was assessed by qRT-PCR. The impact of LOC101928222 in CRC tumor development was assessed both in vitro and in vivo. The regulatory mechanisms of LOC101928222 in CRC were investigated by cellular fractionation, RNA-sequencing, mass spectrometric, RNA pull-down, RNA immunoprecipitation, RNA stability, and gene-specific m6A assays.

resultsLOC101928222 expression was upregulated in CRC and was correlated with a worse outcome. Moreover, LOC101928222 was shown to promote migration, invasion, and angiogenesis in CRC. Mechanistically, LOC101928222 synergized with IGF2BP1 to stabilize HMGCS2 mRNA through an m6A-dependent pathway, leading to increased cholesterol synthesis and, ultimately, the promotion of CRC development.

conclusionsIn summary, these findings demonstrate a novel, LOC101928222-based mechanism involved in the regulation of cholesterol synthesis and the metastatic potential of CRC. The LOC101928222-HMGCS2-cholesterol synthesis pathway may be an effective target for diagnosing and managing CRC metastasis.
