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

The incomplete understanding of the IGFR pathway activation mechanism limits its clinical application in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Here, a transcriptome-wide screening is performed and a novel HCC-associated lncRNA, named IGFR-inducing lncRNA (IGFRIL) is identified. IGFRIL is frequently upregulated in HCC tissues and predicts poor clinical outcomes. It is revealed that IGFRIL plays an oncogenic role in the development of HCC. Mechanistically, IGFRIL serves as a scaffold to recruit PTBP1, destabilizing IGFBP3 mRNA and thereby overactivating the IGF1R-AKT-mTOR signaling in HCC cells. Furthermore, it is observed that the inhibitors against IGF1R or mTOR exhibit suppressive effects on patient-derived tumor xenograft tumors with high IGFRIL expression, through simultaneous blocking of the IGF1R-AKT-mTOR signaling pathway. In summary, this study identifies IGFRIL as a novel non-coding activator of the IGF1R pathway, providing a promising new therapeutic target for HCC patients.
