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

objectivesTo investigate the role of the long non-coding RNA VCAN antisense RNA 1 (VCAN-AS1) in gastric cancer (GC) progression and elucidate its underlying molecular mechanisms, focusing on its interaction with ELAV-like RNA-binding protein 1 (ELAVL1, known as HuR) and its effect on F11 receptor (F11R) expression.

methodsVCAN-AS1 expression levels in GC tissues and cell lines were measured using real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). In vitro and in vivo experiments, including cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, colony formation assay. Transwell migration assay, and a xenograft tumor model, were performed to evaluate VCAN-AS1's function in GC progression. RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) and RNA pull-down assays were used to confirm the interaction between VCAN-AS1 and HuR.

resultsVCAN-AS1 expression was significantly elevated in GC tissues and cell lines, with higher expression levels linked to poorer prognosis in GC patients. Functional assays demonstrated that VCAN-AS1 knockdown suppressed GC cell proliferation and migration. RIP and RNA pull-down experiments confirmed a specific interaction between VCAN-AS1 and HuR. Additionally, VCAN-AS1 regulated F11R expression in a HuR-dependent manner, and rescue experiments confirmed that F11R contributed to VCAN-AS1's oncogenic role in GC.

conclusionsThese findings suggest that VCAN-AS1 facilitates GC progression through the HuR/F11R pathway, offering new insights into GC pathogenesis and identifying VCAN-AS1 as a potential therapeutic target for GC treatment.
