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) have received growing attention due to their diverse regulatory roles in cancer, including in melanoma, an aggressive type of skin cancer. The plasticity and phenotypic adaptability of melanoma cells are crucial factors contributing to therapeutic resistance. The identification of molecules playing key roles in melanoma cell plasticity could unravel novel and more effective therapeutic targets. This review presents current concepts of melanoma cell plasticity, illustrating its fluidity and dismissing the outdated notion of epithelial-mesenchymal-like transition as a simplistic binary process. Emphasis is placed on the pivotal role of lncRNAs in orchestrating cell plasticity, employing various mechanisms recently elucidated and unveiling their potential as promising targets for novel therapeutic strategies. Insights into the molecular mechanisms coordinated by lncRNAs in melanoma pave the way for the development of RNA-based therapies, holding great promise for enhancing treatment outcomes and offering a glimpse into a more effective approach to melanoma treatment.
