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) take various effects in cancer mostly through sponging with microRNAs (miRNAs). lncRNA NR2F1-AS1 is found to promote tumour progression in hepatocellular carcinoma, endometrial cancer and thyroid cancer. However, the role of lncRNA NR2F1-AS1 in breast cancer angiogenesis remains unknown. In this study, we found lncRNA NR2F1-AS1 was positively related with CD31 and CD34 in breast cancer through Pearson's correlation analysis, while lncRNA NR2F1-AS1 transfection promoted human umbilical vascular endothelial cell (HUVEC) tube formation. In breast cancer cells, lncRNA NR2F1-AS1 enhanced the HUVEC proliferation, tube formation and migration ability through tumour-conditioned medium (TCM). In zebrafish model, lncRNA NR2F1-AS1 increased the breast cancer cell-related neo-vasculature and subsequently promoted the breast cancer cell metastasis. In mouse model, lncRNA NR2F1-AS1 promoted the tumour vessel formation, increased the micro vessel density (MVD) and then induced the growth of primary tumour. Mechanically, lncRNA NR2F1-AS1 increased insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) expression through sponging miRNA-338-3p in breast cancer cells and then activated the receptor of IGF-1 (IGF-1R) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway in HUVECs. These results indicated that lncRNA NR2F1-AS1 could promote breast cancer angiogenesis through IGF-1/IGF-1R/ERK pathway.
