Super-enhancer-driven SLCO4A1-AS1 is a new biomarker and a promising therapeutic target in glioblastoma.

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
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common intracranial malignancy, but current treatment options are limited. Super-enhancers (SEs) have been found to drive the expression of key oncogenes in GBM. However, the role of SE-associated long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in GBM remains poorly understood. Here, we screened for an up-regulated lncRNA-SLCO4A1-AS1 expressed in GBM by analyzing data from GSE54791, GSE4536 and TCGA. We systematically analyzed its relationship with clinical characteristics, prognosis, epigenetics, tumor microenvironment (TME), biological functions, and transcription factors. We found that SE-driven SLCO4A1-AS1 was significantly upregulated in GBM and correlated with poor prognosis. Knockdown of SLCO4A1-AS1 decreased glioma cell proliferation, invasive ability, self-renewal ability, and increased apoptosis. Epigenetic analysis revealed that SOX2 and SE could drive SLCO4A1-AS1 expression. In vitro experiments further demonstrated that GBM cells with high SLCO4A1-AS1 expression were more sensitive to VX-11e, and overexpression of SLCO4A1-AS1 could reverse the inhibitory effect of VX-11e on GBM cells. In conclusion, this study revealed that SE-driven SLCO4A1-AS1 may be a potential therapeutic target in GBM.
