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

Recently, it has been increasingly proved that lncRNAs are functionally involved in a majority of tumor progression. LncRNA CASC7 has also been revealed to participate in the development of several cancers as a tumor promoter or suppressor. Herein, we focus on uncovering the role and underlying molecular mechanism of CASC7 in breast cancer. Tumor tissues and the paired paracancerous tissues from the breast cancer patients were used to evaluate the level of CASC7 in breast cancer. By analyzing the CASC7 expression in breast cancer cell lines, both the expression levels of CASC7 in cancer tissues and cell lines were obviously downregulated compared to those in paired paracancerous tissues and normal human epithelial MCF10A cells. Subsequently, the construction of lentivirus overexpression system (oe-CASC7 and oe-NC) was used to elevate the expression of CASC7. A series of functional experiments were conducted to show that the cell proliferation, migration, and invasion were inhibited when CASC7 overexpressed in breast cancer cells. Meanwhile, the apoptosis of oe-CASC7 cells was induced compared to the oe-NC breast cancer cells. We further confirmed that CASC7 functions by regulating miR-21-5p/FASLG axis. Finally, a xenograft model in nude mice verified that CASC7 was a tumor suppressor in breast cancer. These results suggest that lncRNA CASC7 suppresses to malignant behaviors of breast cancer by modulating miR-21-5p/FASLG axis.
