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

Transcriptional regulatory networks are biological network motifs that act in accordance with each other to play decisive roles in the pathological processes of cancer. One of the most common types, the feed-forward loop (FFL), has recently attracted interest. Three connected deregulated nodes, a transcription factor (TF), its downstream microRNA (miRNA) and their shared target gene can make up a class of cancer-involved FFLs as ≥1 of the 3 can act individually as a bona fide oncogene or a tumor suppressor. Numerous notable elements, such as p53, miR-17-92 cluster and cyclins, are proven members of their respective FFLs. Databases of interaction prediction, verification of experimental methods and confirmation of loops have been continually emerging during recent years. Development of TF-miRNA-target loops may help understand the mechanism of tumorgenesis at a higher level and explain the discovery and screening of the therapeutic target for drug exploitation.
