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

A body of evidence has indicated that microRNAs (miRNAs) may have significant roles in cancer. Aberrant expression of miRNAs has frequently been observed in various human malignancies, including osteosarcoma (OS). However, the roles of miRNAs in OS remain poorly understood. In the present study, high-throughput deep sequencing was performed to screen for deregulated miRNAs in OS. Screening identified 310 miRNAs which were significantly overexpressed and 41 miRNAs which were significantly downregulated (>2-fold) in OS samples, compared with adjacent non-tumor bone tissues. Among these miRNAs, miR-33a-5p was notably downregulated. TaqMan reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis further verified that miR-33a-5p expression was significantly reduced in a large cohort of human OS samples. Enhancing miR-33a-5p expression via transfection with miR-33a-5p precursor significantly inhibited OS cell growth, suggesting potential antitumor properties of miR-33a-5p. The results of the present study provide novel insights into the miRNAs involved in OS, and suggest that miR-33a-5p may function as a tumor suppressor in OS. Therefore, miR-33a-5p may be able to serve as a diagnostic and therapeutic target for OS treatment.
