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

Among the various histological types of thyroid cancer (TC), papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is highly prevalent. Studies conducted in the past have revealed that the LncRNA DLEU2 is aberrantly expressed in PTC and is relevant to tumorigenesis and lymphatic metastasis. There is still uncertainty about the function and underlying mechanisms of LncRNA DLEU2 in PTC cells. Our findings indicate that DLEU2 facilitates the migration and invasion of PTC cells. Analysis from the Starbase database demonstrated a positive interaction and relationship between the RNA-binding protein (RBP) ELAVL1 and DLEU2. Fluorescence co-localization and RIP assays confirmed the binding of DLEU2 and ELAVL1 within PTC cells. ELAVL1 was found to enhance the migration and invasion of PTC cells, as demonstrated by wound healing and Transwell invasion assays. ELAVL1 preferentially binds to and stabilizes m6A-modified mRNAs. Bioinformatic analysis, western blotting, and RT-qPCR results revealed that RCC2, a downstream target of ELAVL1, was regulated by ELAVL1. MeRIP and RNA stability assays showed that ELAVL1 modulates RCC2 mRNA stability through m6A modification. Through rescue experiments, the DLEU2-ELAVL1-RCC2 axis was identified in PTC cells, demonstrating its function in cell migration and invasion. Through the Wnt5a/β-catenin signaling pathway, this axis may support epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and enhance cellular migration and invasion. Collectively, our findings elucidate the functional mechanism of the DLEU2-ELAVL1-RCC2 axis in PTC cells and provide a possible molecular target for treating PTC.
