Clustering of RNA co-expression network identifies novel long non-coding RNA biomarkers in squamous cell carcinoma.

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 emerged as important players in cancer progression. Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is the most common metastatic skin cancer with increasing incidence worldwide. The prognosis of the metastatic cSCC is poor, and currently there are no established biomarkers to predict metastasis risk or specific therapeutic targets for advanced or metastatic cSCC. To elucidate the role of lncRNAs in cSCC, RNA sequencing of patient derived cSCC cell lines and normal human epidermal keratinocytes was performed. The correlation analysis of differentially expressed lncRNAs and protein-coding genes revealed six distinct gene clusters with one of the upregulated clusters featuring genes associated with cell motility. Upregulation of the expression of lncRNAs linked to cSCC cell motility in cSCC and head and neck SCC (HNSCC) cells was confirmed using qRT-PCR. Elevated expression of HOTTIP and LINC00543 was also noted in SCC tumors in vivo and was associated with poorer prognosis in HNSCC and lung SCC cohorts within TCGA data, respectively. Altogether, these findings uncover a novel set of lncRNAs implicated in cSCC cell locomotion. These lncRNAs may serve as potential novel biomarkers and as putative therapeutic targets for locally advanced and metastatic cSCC.
