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

objectivesMicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression and mediate diverse physiological processes. In this study, we investigated functions of miRNA miR-34c-3p in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). MATERIALS AND

methodsmiR-34c-3p expression was evaluated by qPCR. Cell viability was examined by MTT and proliferation by cell cycle analysis. Cell migration and invasion were tested using Transwells with/without Matrigel coating. Western blot analysis was performed for eIF4E, c-Myc, Cyclin D1, survivin and Mcl-1 protein expression.

resultsmiR-34c-3p expression was significantly reduced in tissues and serum samples from NSCLC patients and in NSCLC cell lines A549, H460, H23, H157 and H1299. Overexpression of miR-34c-3p in A549 and H157 cells reduced cell proliferation, migration and invasion, whereas transfection with miR-34c-3p inhibitor (miR-34c-3p-in) produced opposite effects. Target analysis using algorithms miRanda, TargetScan and DIANA identified eIF4E as a potential target of miR-34c-3p. Luciferase assay using the eIF4E 3'-UTR reporter carrying a putative miR-34c-3p target sequence revealed eIF4E to be a specific target of miR-34c-3p. Overexpression of miR-34c-3p in NSCLS cell lines led to significant reduction in mRNA and protein levels of eIF4E, whereas inhibition of miR-34c-3p resulted in significant increase in eIf4e protein levels, confirming eIF4E to be a direct target of miR-34c-3p in NSCLS. Overexpression of eIF4E in A549 cells promoted cell proliferation, migration and invasion, which were partially reversed by miR-34c-3p.

conclusionmiR-34c-3p directly targeted eIF4E and reduced miR-34c-3p expression in NSCLC, promoting cell cycle progression, proliferation, migration and invasion.
