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) are a class of small non-coding RNAs and have critical roles in tumorigenesis and metastasis. A growing body of evidence showed that microRNA-133a (miR-133a) was downregulated and played tumor suppressor roles in gastric, colorectal, bladder, and lung cancer. However, the role and underlying molecular mechanism of miR-133a in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain unclear. In this study, we analyzed the expression of miR-133a in HCC tissues and HCC cell lines. We find that miR-133a was downregulated in HCC tissues and cell lines and that miR-133a expression negatively correlated with tumor differentiation (P < 0.01), TNM stage (P < 0.01), and lymph node metastasis (P < 0.01). Then, functional studies demonstrate that restoration of miR-133a in HepG2 cells significantly suppressed proliferation, colony formation, migration, and invasion, induced cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 stage and cell apoptosis in vitro, and decreased tumor size and weight in a nude mouse HepG2 xenograft model. Using bioinformatics method and dual luciferase assays identified insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R) as a direct target of miR-133a in HCC cells. Furthermore, overexpression of miR-133a inhibited activation AKT and ERK signal pathway, which contributed to suppression of HCC cell growth. These findings suggest that miR-133a may act as a tumor suppressor and inhibited survival of HCC cells by targeting IGF-1R.
