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

Objective: This study aims to explore the effect of the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) RNF217-AS1 on the proliferation and migration of esophageal cancer cells, and to uncover the molecular mechanisms through which RNF217-AS1 regulates these processes. Methods: The expression of RNF217-AS1 was measured in esophageal cancer cell lines (EC9706, Ecal09, KYSE-510, and TE-13) and immortalized esophageal epithelial HET-1 A cells using RT-qPCR. KYSE-510 cells were transfected with si-NC or si-RNF217-AS1 plasmids. Colony formation assays were used to assess cell proliferation, while migration ability was evaluated using scratch assays. A dual-luciferase reporter system was employed to verify the interaction between RNF217-AS1 and miR-377-3p. The expression of miR-377-3p and key proteins related to cell migration and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) were detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot. Results: RNF217-AS1 expression was significantly upregulated in esophageal cancer cells compared to HET-1 A cells (P<0.01). Downregulation of RNF217-AS1 in KYSE-510 and Eca109 cells led to a reduction in cell proliferation and migration (P<0.01). The dual-luciferase assay confirmed the interaction between RNF217-AS1 and miR-377-3p (P<0.01). miR-377-3p expression was elevated in the si-RNF217-AS1 group compared to the si-NC group (P<0.01). Furthermore, the protein levels of HOXA1, fibronectin, and FOXC2 were downregulated, while GRHL2 and E-cadherin expressions were increased in the si-RNF217-AS1 group (P<0.01). Conclusion: RNF217-AS1 is upregulated in esophageal cancer cells, and its downregulation inhibits the proliferation, migration and EMT of esophageal cancer cells by regulating the miR-377-3p/HOXA1 axis.
