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

backgroundOridonin, an ingredient used in traditional Chinese medicine, has been demonstrated to play an important role in antitumour effects, but the mechanism underlying its antitumour properties is still not clear.

methodsTo verify the anti-cancer effects of oridonin via a miRNA-dependent mechanism, comprehensive miRNA expression profiling of oridonin-treated BxPC-3 human pancreatic cancer cells was performed using a miRNA microarray assay based on Sanger miR-Base Release 20, followed by a validation using real-time PCR. MicroRNA target prediction and Gene Ontology and KEGG pathway analysis were performed to investigate possible pathways involved.

resultsThe results showed that 105 miRNAs were significantly differentially expressed (signal reading >500, p ≤ 0.01, |Log2-value| ≥1) in oridonin-treated BxPC-3 human pancreatic cancer cells.

conclusionsOur data indicates that oridonin inhibits BxPC-3 cells probably through regulating the expression of miRNAs. Interruption of miRNA profiling may provide new therapeutic methods for the clinical treatment of pancreatic cancer.
