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

purposeThe expression profile, clinical effects, and detailed roles of NOP14 antisense RNA 1 (NOP14-AS1) in tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) remain ambiguous and need to be further explored. Thus, this work was initiated to offer further solid evidence regarding the expression and roles of NOP14-AS1 in TSCC. Furthermore, additional efforts were exerted to reveal the molecular events by which NOP14-AS1 affects the malignant behaviours of TSCC.

methodsNOP14-AS1 expression was detected in TSCC tissues and cell lines using quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, flow cytometric analysis, Transwell migration and invasion assays, and xenograft tumor model analysis were performed to assess the malignant biological behaviors of TSCC cells after NOP14-AS1 depletion. Mechanistic studies were performed using bioinformatics analysis, luciferase reporter assay, RNA immunoprecipitation, and rescue experiments.

resultsNOP14-AS1 upregulation was identified in TSCC tissues and cell lines. Patients with TSCC exhibiting a high NOP14-AS1 expression faced shorter overall survival than those with a low NOP14-AS1 expression. Functionally, NOP14-AS1 depletion facilitated apoptosis and impeded cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in TSCC. In vivo, the growth of TSCC cells was hindered by NOP14-AS1 depletion. Mechanically, NOP14-AS1 functioned as a competing endogenous RNA by sponging microRNA-665 (miR-665), thereby overexpressing the target high mobility group box 3 (HMGB3) of miR-665. Lastly, rescue experiments confirmed that the introduction of HMGB3 overexpression plasmid or miR-665 inhibitor could abrogate the inhibition of aggressive phenotypes triggered by NOP14-AS1 knockdown.

conclusionNOP14-AS1 executed pro-oncogenic activities in TSCC cells by targeting the miR-665/HMGB3 axis. The NOP14-AS1/miR-665/HMGB pathway may be a valuable prognostic indicator and therapeutic target for preventing TSCC.
