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

LINC00525, a long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), has been implicated in the regulation of cancer progression across various types. However, its role in bladder cancer (BLCA) remains unconfirmed. In this study, we observed upregulation of LINC00525 expression in both bladder cancer tissues and cell lines compared to normal controls. Among the 12 pairs of collected tissue samples, LINC00525 exhibited higher expression levels in muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) tissues than in non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) tissues, indicating a positive correlation between LINC00525 levels and bladder cancer progression. In vitro experiments demonstrated that knockdown of LINC00525 significantly inhibited proliferation, migration, and invasion of bladder cancer cell lines; conversely, overexpression of LINC00525 had the opposite effect. Bioinformatic analysis revealed an association between LINC00525 and YAP, which was further confirmed by western blotting and PCR analysis using patient tissues. Mechanistically, we found that LINC00525 reduced phosphorylation of YAP at serine 127 (S127), promoting its nuclear import to exert transcriptional regulatory effects on target genes. Additionally, LINC00525 inhibited YAP ubiquitination by acting on YAP lysine 321 (K321), thereby increasing its stability to prevent degradation. Through in vivo and in vitro experiments, we demonstrated the YAP-mediated promoting effect of LINC00525 on bladder cancer cells and tumor growth. Our study reveals the involvement of the LINC00525/YAP axis in regulating bladder cancer development, suggesting a potential therapeutic strategy for malignant tumors characterized by high levels of LINC00525 expression.
