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

Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) TINCR has been shown to play a crucial regulatory role in various tumors. However, its specific mechanism of action in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the role of lncRNA TINCR in CSCC. We utilized overexpression techniques to study the effects of TINCR on CSCC cells. Methylation-specific PCR (MSP) and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays were used to assess the impact of TINCR on the methylation of the promoter regions of the Myc and TERC genes, and its interaction with DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1). The results showed that overexpression of TINCR significantly promoted methylation in the promoter regions of Myc (N-MYC, L-MYC, and c-MYC) and TERC genes, inhibiting the proliferation, migration, and invasion of CSCC cells. MSP and RIP experiments further confirmed that TINCR binds to DNMT1, enhancing the methylation levels of the promoter regions of Myc and TERC genes. These findings suggest that lncRNA TINCR may serve as a potential therapeutic target for CSCC by regulating the methylation of key oncogenes. These findings provide new insights into the molecular mechanisms of CSCC and highlight the therapeutic potential of targeting TINCR.
