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

Previous studies have shown that microRNAs are involved in many human cancers. However, the role of miR-125b in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has not been fully understood. In our study, we detected the expression of miR-125b using Real-time quantitative-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and found that the expressions of miR-125b were significantly inhibited in HCC tissues and cell lines. The levels of miR-125b were associated with the degree of HCC malignancy. Otherwise, MTT assay showed that the proliferation was significantly decreased after transfection of miR-125b mimics into HepG2 cells; while the proliferation was significantly increased in HepG2 cells transfected with miR-125b inhibitors. Furthermore, TargetScan was conducted to predict the target gene of miR-125b and Sirtuin7 (SIRT7) was chosen to a potential target gene. And then we used luciferase reporter assay and western blot to confirm that SIRT7 is a direct target gene. Western blot indicated that transfection of miR-125b mimics could significantly inhibit the expression of SIRT7 in HepG2 cells, whereas, transfection of miR-125b inhibitor could significantly increase the expression of SIRT7 in HepG2 cells. These results suggest that miR-125b can inhibit the proliferation of HCC by adjusting the expression of SIRT7 and may be a key element of HCC progression.
