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

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play crucial roles in regulating gene expression and tumor progression. Growth arrest specific 6-antisense RNA 1 (GAS6-AS1), a novel lncRNA located antisense to the GAS6 gene, has been increasingly recognized as an important regulator in multiple cancers. Emerging evidence demonstrates that GAS6-AS1 participates in tumor initiation and progression by functioning as a competitive endogenous RNA that modulates microRNA activity, regulates downstream target genes, and influences key signaling pathways, including Wnt/β-catenin and AXL signaling. Through these mechanisms, GAS6-AS1 affects cancer cell proliferation, migration, invasion, apoptosis, metabolic reprogramming and chemoresistance. GAS6-AS1 exhibits context-dependent functions across different cancer types. GAS6-AS1 predominantly functions as an oncogenic lncRNA in multiple cancers, including colorectal cancer, breast cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, ovarian cancer, glioma, gastric cancer, renal cell carcinoma and acute myeloid leukemia. In contrast, GAS6-AS1 has been reported to exert tumor-suppressive effects in lung adenocarcinoma. Abnormal expression of GAS6-AS1 is closely associated with tumor progression, metastasis and patient prognosis, highlighting its potential as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker as well as a therapeutic target. Overall, GAS6-AS1 represents a promising molecule for understanding cancer pathogenesis and developing novel strategies for precision cancer diagnosis and treatment, although further clinical validation and mechanistic studies are still required.
