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

Early diagnosis is vitally important for effective treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Nevertheless, the exact pathogenic mechanisms of NPC remain unclear, and early diagnosis of NPC is still limited. Herein, we showed that a specific tsRNA for NPC, 5'tiRNA-32-ValAAC-2, is a novel pathogenic factor and has potential diagnostic value for NPC screening. In this study, small RNA microarray profiling and array hybridization were used to detect expression spectrums of tsRNAs in the sera of newly diagnosed NPC patients. The upregulated tsRNAs were validated using RT-qPCR, and their clinical significance in NPC diagnosis was analyzed. Furthermore, the most highly expressed tsRNA, was further investigated. 5'tiRNA-32-ValAAC-2 could serve as a potential diagnostic biomarker for NPC. Subsequently, the effect of 5'tiRNA-32-ValAAC-2 on the growth and invasion of NPC cells was investigated. The results indicated that overexpression of 5'tiRNA-32-ValAAC-2 promoted NPC cells proliferation, migration, and invasion. In contrast, the inhibition of 5'tiRNA-32-ValAAC-2 suppressed NPC cells proliferation, migration and invasion. TargetScan and miRanda analyses revealed that UGT2B7, SYNPO2, ZNF44, PDHB, and UFM1 might serve as downstream target-genes of 5'tiRNA-32-ValAAC-2. In conclusion, 5'tiRNA-32-ValAAC-2 could potentially be a novel pathogenic factor for NPC, and it functions as a diagnostic biomarker in the primary diagnosis of NPC.
