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

Accumulating evidence has been obtained to understand the mechanisms of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in bladder cancer (BC). However, due to the recurrence and metastasis of BC, searching for lncRNAs that are related to prognosis and metastasis and exploring the pathogenesis of BC might provide new insights for the treatment of BC. In the present study, we used the TCGA and GEO databases and identified LINC02446 as associated with prognosis and differentially expressed in bladder cancer tissues and para-cancer tissues. Then, we found that LINC02446 could affect the proliferation, migration and invasion of BC cells. Additionally, we found that LINC02446 could bind to the EIF3G protein and regulate the protein stability of EIF3G and then inhibit the mTOR signalling pathway. In summary, all these findings show that LINC02446 might serve as a promising therapeutic target for BC intervention.
