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

backgroundAccumulated evidence has revealed that the dysregulation of micro ribonucleic acids (miRNAs) may contribute to esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). MiR-93, which is a member of the miRNA cluster miR-106b∼25, has been widely studied for its tumor promoting effect on different types of cancers. However, our knowledge of miR-93 function in ESCC remains unclear.

methodsThe expression levels of miR-93 in ESCC and the adjacent non-tumor tissues were measured by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Cell counting kit-8, flow cytometry, and 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine incorporation and transwell migration assays were employed to explore the effects of miR-93 on proliferation and migration capabilities in EC109 cells. To determine the possible target gene of miR-93, cell transfection, Western blot analysis and luciferase reporter gene assays were performed.

resultsA significant upregulation of miR-93 expression in ESCC tissues was determined, combined with a downregulation of the predicted target gene, disabled 2 (DAB2). The introduction of miR-93 significantly promotes cell proliferation, cell cycle progression, and the metastatic capability of EC109 cells. By cell transfection and luciferase reporter assay, DAB2 was confirmed as a direct target of miR-93. In addition, the knockdown of DAB2 by small interfering RNA displayed a consentaneous phenocopy with miR-93 overexpression in EC109 cells.

conclusionOur results indicate that miR-93 acts as a tumor promoter in ESCC, and its promotion effects on ESCC cell proliferation and migration depend largely upon DAB2 suppression.
