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: Cervical cancer is a significant cause of mortality in women globally, and radioresistance limits the effectiveness of standard radiotherapy treatment. Exploring the molecular mechanisms that contribute to radioresistance is vital for improving therapies. This study focuses on the role of lncRNA in influencing the radioresistance of cervical cancer. Methods: We identified lncRNA-EME1 as a candidate regulator of cervical cancer radioresistance through transcriptomic sequencing and RT-qPCR. Its function was explored by silencing or overexpressing lncRNA-EME1, followed by proliferation (MTT), clonogenic survival, apoptosis, and ROS assays. Effects on BRCA1 expression and DNA damage response were examined by WB, γ-H2AX focus analysis, and the I-SceI-mediated homologous recombination assay. Mechanistic insights were obtained using RNA pull-down and RIP assays. Finally, a xenograft model with subsequent TUNEL and immunohistochemical analyses was used to validate the role of lncRNA-EME1 in regulating BRCA1 and mediating radioresistance Results: Our findings indicate that lncRNA-EME1 is overexpressed in radioresistant cervical cancer cells. Silencing lncRNA-EME1 enhances radiosensitivity in HeLa-IR and SiHa-IR cells, suppresses malignant phenotypes, and increases apoptosis and ROS levels. This effects corresponds with reduced BRCA1 expression and alterations in DNA damage repair markers, highlighting its role in the radiation response. The positive association between lncRNA-EME1 and BRCA1 further supports its involvement in DNA damage repair, thereby regulating cervical cancer cells' sensitivity to radiation therapy. Conclusion: This study sheds light on the role of lncRNA-EME1 in regulating BRCA1 activity and contributing to cervical cancer radioresistance. Our data reveals that decreasing lncRNA-EME1 expression could potentially boost radiosensitivity in cervical cancer cells.
