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

backgroundLncRNA HOXB-AS3 has been shown to exert oncogenic effects in various malignancies. However, its specific role in gastric cancer (GC) remains largely unknown. This study addressed the expression profile and clinical relevance of HOXB-AS3 in GC. Moreover, we dissected its downstream regulatory circuitry in a cell model.

methodsThe cohort comprised 156 GC patients who were followed up for 5 years. Multivariate Cox analysis was employed for risk indicator identification. Relative expression of genes was calculated by RT-qPCR. Cell proliferation was detected by CCK-8 assay, while migration and invasion were assessed by transwell assay. ROC curve was applied for diagnostic efficiency.

resultsHOXB-AS3 was upregulated in GC tissues (P < 0.001) and exhibited promising diagnostic utility (AUC = 0.851, 95% CI: 0.810-0.892). Moreover, high HOXB-AS3 expression positively correlated with poor prognosis (P = 0.005) and was identified as another risk factor (HR = 1.642, 95%CI:1.054-2.557, P = 0.028) besides TNM stage and lymph node metastasis. Mechanistically, HOXB-AS3 overexpression promoted cell proliferation, migration, and invasion through the miR-498-5p/EP300 axis in GC cells.

conclusionsOur findings establish HOXB-AS3 as a potential diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target in GC, acting via the miR-498-5p/EP300 axis.
