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

aimIncreasing evidence has shown that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) ANRIL may function as oncogenes in various types of malignancies. However, there is still a lack of knowledge concerning its role in osteosarcoma (OS). In this study, we aimed to investigate the influence of ANRIL on cell proliferation and invasion of OS and to determine its association with clinicopathological features of the patients.

methodsThe tumor specimens and the adjacent normal tissues were collected from 57 OS patients and the expression level of ANRIL was quantified by RT-qPCR. High expression of ANRIL was defined as a relative mRNA expression of > 1.5 fold (tumor/normal). Knockdown of ANRIL was performed in human OS cell lines to investigate its influence on cell proliferation, apoptosis and invasion. In addition, expression of downstream genes in the transfected cells were determined by Western blot.

resultsThe expression level of ANRIL was significantly increased in OS tissues than in the adjacent normal tissues. 33 patients were included in the high expression group and the other 24 patients were included in the normal expression group. ANRIL expression was significantly associated with tumor size (5.7 cm ± 2.4 cm vs. 4.3 cm ± 1.7 cm, p = 0.02) and the 5-year survival rate (51.5% vs. 79.1%, p = 0.03). Knockdown of ANRIL could significantly induce cell apoptosis and inhibit cell proliferation and invasion. Moreover, knockdown of ANRIL could significantly decrease the expression level of phosphorylated PI3K and AKT in OS cells.

conclusionsUpregulated expression of ANRIL is associated with the tumor development and prognosis of OS. ANRIL may regulate the function of OS cells through the AKT pathway.
