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

Autophagy plays critical and complicated roles in tumors. As the central hub of nutrient signaling and cell growth, mTOR constitutes mTORC1 to be the main gateway for modulating autophagy. Yet, the regulatory mechanisms of mTORC1-regulated autophagy in tumors are not fully deciphered. Here, we report a novel long noncoding RNA, LINC00622, which modulates mTORC1-regulated autophagy in cutaneous melanoma. Functionally, LINC00622 acts as a pro-oncogenic factor to promote proliferation, colony formation, migration and invasion in melanoma while suppressing cell death. Mechanistically, LINC00622 associates with and recruits BTF3 to transcriptionally enhance RRAGD expression for activating mTORC1 and thus inhibiting autophagic cell death, which contributes to the development of cutaneous melanoma. Our findings not only demonstrated the oncogenic role of LINC00622 via RRAGD/mTORC1 axis to repress autophagic cell death in cutaneous melanoma, but also offer novel treatment targets for melanoma therapy.
