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

Mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) is required for mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) replication and transcription. microRNAs (miRNAs) act as key factors in the regulation of gene expression. However, the roles of TFAM and certain miRNAs and their association in cancer development remain unclear. The present study reported that the expression of TFAM was significantly increased in bladder cancer, while the expression of miRNA-590-3p was downregulated. The luciferase assay showed that TFAM was the direct target of miRNA-590-3p. Furthermore, the forced overexpression of miRNA-590-3p significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration and colony-forming ability of 5637 cells, which was in contrast with the results from the forced overexpression of TFAM in the 5637 cells. Furthermore, cell proliferation- and migration-related genes, including phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K), Akt, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP9, were significantly downregulated in the miRNA-590-3p-overex-pressing 5637 cells, but upregulated in the TFAM-overexpressing cells. In conclusion, the present study suggested that TFAM, a direct target of miRNA-590-3p, may play a significant role in the tumorigenesis of bladder cancer and thus may be a promising target for cancer therapeutics.
