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

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been suggested to play critical roles in tumorigenesis as well as in the development of therapies for the treatment of cancers. However, the tumor-associated miRNAs in gastric cancers remain poorly understood. Here, we report on miR-542-3p in gastric cancers, which has been widely studied in other cancers as a tumor suppressor. Real-time quantitative PCR analysis demonstrated that miR-542-3p was significantly down-regulated in gastric cancer tissues (p < 0.0001) and cell lines (p < 0.001). Overexpression of miR-542-3p significantly inhibited cell growth of gastric cancer cells both in vitro (p < 0.01) and in vivo (p < 0.01). Notably, overexpression of miR-542-3p apparently reduced the protein expression of astrocyte-elevated gene-1 (AEG-1) (p < 0.01). The dual-luciferase reporter assay validated that miR-542-3p directly bound the 3'-untranslated region (UTR) of AEG-1, which could be abolished by mutation of the predicted miR-542-3p binding site. Furthermore, overexpression of miR-542-3p markedly inhibited the activation of oncogenic signaling pathways including the Akt, β-catenin and nuclear factor-κB pathways. Additionally, overexpression of AEG-1 without the 3'-UTR partially reversed the cell growth arrest induced by miR-542-3p overexpression in gastric cancer cells (p < 0.05). Taken together, these data suggest that miR-542-3p might function as a tumor suppressor in gastric cancer, potentially by targeting the oncogene AEG-1, implying a potential role for miR-542-3p in the development of therapeutic methods for gastric cancer.
