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

Background: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play crucial roles in modulating the development and progression of human malignant cancers. As a tumour suppressor gene, the lncRNA MIR22HG has been identified in many kinds of cancers. However, the specific function of MIR22HG in prostate cancer (Pca) has yet to be elucidated. Specifically, we sought to determine whether MIR22HG plays a role in Pca progression and the underlying mechanisms involved. Methods: Differentially expressed lncRNAs in Pca tissues were screened by sequencing, and the expression of MIR22HG in cells and tissues was determined via quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8), Transwell, and western blotting assays were used to determine whether Pca cell proliferation and migration can be regulated by the MIR22HG/microRNA-4428 (miR-4428)/PCDH9 axis. To investigate tumour growth Results: MIR22HG was expressed at low levels in Pca cells and tissues, and its upregulation inhibited cell proliferation and migration and prevented epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) Conclusions: We demonstrated that MIR22HG acts as a tumour suppressor in Pca and suggested that targeting the MIR22HG/miR-4428/PCDH9 axis may be a new avenue for Pca therapy.
