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

Background: LINC00922 has been found to promote epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in a variety of tumors. But its functions in gastric cancer (GC) remain unclear. We attempt to investigate the correlation between LINC00922 and GC via bioinformatics analysis, in vitro and in vivo experiments. Methods: TCGA and GTEx databases were utilized to obtain the RNAseq and clinical data of GC, and then, identified the correlation of LINC00922 with patients' clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis. GSEA and GO/KEGG enrichment analyses were performed to explore the potential functions or signaling pathways that LINC00922 participated in GC. Infiltration levels of immune cells were employed by ssGSEA algorithm, and then Wilcoxon rank sum test was applied to analyze their correlations with LINC00922. Scratch and transwell assays were conducted to detect the invasion and migration abilities of GC cells. Western blot was performed to explore the expression level of EMT-related proteins. Furthermore, we constructed the xenograft tumor model and metastatic tumor model in nude mice to explore the effect of LINC00922 downregulating on metastasis of GC cells in vivo. Results: Compared with normal tissues, LINC00922 was highly expressed in GC tissues and positively correlated with poor prognosis. The correlation existed between LINC00922 and immune infiltration in GC. Downregulation of LINC00922 inhibited the EMT process of GC cells. In addition, both in vitro and in vivo experiments showed that LINC00922 affects the invasion and migration abilities of GC. Conclusions: LINC00922 promotes the migration, invasion, and EMT in GC and has the potential to be used as a prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for GC.
