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

Noncoding RNAs play pivotal roles in tumorigenesis and cancer progression. Recent evidence has identified vault RNAs (vtRNAs) as critical regulators of cellular homeostasis. The human genome encodes four vtRNA paralogs, which are differentially expressed in cancer tissues and contribute to tumor development. The best studied vtRNA1-1 is involved in regulating apoptosis resistance, autophagy, lysosomal biogenesis, and drug resistance. Here, we present the first comprehensive characterization of vtRNA1-2 using a knockout hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell line. Loss of vtRNA1-2 impaired cancer cell viability and proliferation by modulating mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling. Additionally, vtRNA1-2-deficient cells exhibited reduced motility and a decreased invasive potential. Unlike vtRNA1-1, vtRNA1-2 did not influence autophagy or lysosomal activity. Instead, vtRNA1-2 is implicated in the regulation of angiogenesis, a key process in tumor progression.
