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

backgroundmiR-23a, which participates in invasion of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cells into the mesothelial barrier, is a critical regulator in many cancers. It, however, is still unknown whether miR-23a regulates pancreatic cell proliferation and apoptosis or not.

aimsWe sought to investigate the role of miR-23a in regulation of pancreatic cell proliferation and apoptosis.

methodsmiRNA, mRNA, and protein expressions were determined by qRT-PCR and Western blot, respectively. Dual-luciferase reporter assay was used in detection for binding ability of miR-23a to APAF1. Ectopic miR-23a and APAF 1 were introduced to pancreatic cells, and their roles in proliferation and apoptosis were detected by MTT, colony formation, and apoptosis assays, respectively.

resultsUp-regulation of miR-23a and down-regulation of APAF 1 were found in pancreatic ductal cancer, respectively. miR-23a significantly inhibited the luciferase activity by targeting APAF 1 3'UTR. Ectopic miR-23a significantly suppressed the APAF 1 gene expression in pancreatic cancer cells. Similar to siAPAF1, miR-23a significantly promoted pancreatic cancer cell proliferation and repressed apoptosis. Furthermore, miR-23a inhibitor and exogenous APAF 1 could recover the effects.

conclusionsIt is suggested that miR-23a, acting as an oncogenic regulator by directly targeting APAF 1 in pancreatic cancer, is a useful potential biomarker in diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer.
