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

Increased evidence reveals that glycolysis is one of the key metabolic hallmarks of cancer cells. However, the roles of lncRNA FTX in energy metabolism and cancer progression remain unclear. In this study we aim to show that lncRNA FTX was significantly upregulated in cancer tissues and serum of CRC patients and CRC cell lines. Function study indicated that it could promote aerobic glycolysis, cell proliferation, migration and invasion in colorectal cancer cells. Further mechanistic studies showed, lncRNA FTX was found to function as a sponge for miR-215-3p, which reduced the ability of miR-215-3p to repress the YAP1 oncoprotein. Additionally, a negative correlation was observed between lncRNA FTX and miR-215-3p expression, and the knockdown of lncRNA FTX or miR-215-3p overexpression yielded opposite effects. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that FTX could directly combine with miR-215-3p as a competitive endogenous RNA, thus promoting the aerobic glycolysis and progression of CRC in vitro and in vivo.
