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

BACKGROUND &

aimsCholestasis contributes to hepatocellular injury and promotes liver carcinogenesis. We created a mouse model of chronic cholestasis to study its effects on progression of cholangiocarcinoma and the oncogenes involved.

methodsTo induce chronic cholestasis, Balb/c mice were given 2 weekly intraperitoneal injections of diethylnitrosamine (DEN); 2 weeks later, some mice also received left and median bile duct ligation (LMBDL) and, then 1 week later, were fed DEN, in corn oil, weekly by oral gavage (DLD). Liver samples were analyzed by immunohistochemical and biochemical assays; expression of Mnt and c-Myc was reduced by injection of small inhibitor RNAs.

resultsChronic cholestasis was induced by DLD and accelerated progression of cholangiocarcinoma, compared with mice given only DEN. Cystic hyperplasias, cystic atypical hyperplasias, cholangiomas, and cholangiocarcinoma developed in the DLD group at weeks 8, 12, 16, and 28, respectively. LMBDL repressed expression of microRNA (miR)-34a and let-7a, up-regulating Lin-28B, hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α, HIF-2α, and miR-210. Up-regulation of Lin-28B might inhibit let-7a, which is associated with development of cystic hyperplasias, cystic atypical hyperplasias, cholangiomas, and cholangiocarcinoma. Knockdown of c-Myc reduced progression of cholangiocarcinoma, whereas knockdown of Mnt accelerated its progression. Down-regulation of miR-34a expression might up-regulate c-Myc. The up-regulation of miR-210 via HIF-2α was involved in down-regulation of Mnt. Activation of the miR-34a-c-Myc and HIF-2α-miR-210-Mnt pathways caused c-Myc to bind the E-box element of cyclin D1, instead of Mnt, resulting in cyclin D1 up-regulation.

conclusionsDLD induction of chronic cholestasis accelerated progression of cholangiocarcinoma, which is mediated by down-regulation of miR-34a, up-regulation miR-210, and replacement of Mnt by c-Myc in binding to cyclin D1.
