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

Dysregulated RNA splicing events produce transcripts that facilitate esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) progression, but how this splicing process is abnormally regulated remains elusive. Here, we unveiled a novel alternative splicing axis of BOLA3 transcripts and its regulator HNRNPC in ESCC. The long-form BOLA3 (BOLA3-L) containing exon 3 exhibited high expression levels in ESCC and was associated with poor prognosis. Functional assays demonstrated the protumorigenic function of BOLA3-L in ESCC cells. Additionally, HNRNPC bound to BOLA3 mRNA and promoted BOLA3 exon 3 inclusion forming BOLA3-L. High HNRNPC expression was positively correlated with the presence of BOLA3-L and associated with an unfavorable prognosis. HNRNPC knockdown effectively suppressed the malignant biological behavior of ESCC cells, which were significantly rescued by BOLA3-L overexpression. Moreover, BOLA3-L played a significant role in mitochondrial structural and functional stability. E2F7 acted as a key transcription factor that promoted the upregulation of HNRNPC and inclusion of BOLA3 exon 3. Our findings provided novel insights into how alternative splicing contributes to ESCC progression.
