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

C/EBPα plays an important role in the modulation of cell proliferation, differentiation or apoptosis in various tissues. Most recently, reduced expression of C/EBPα and growth inhibitory effect was found in primary mammary carcinomas. However, the underlying mechanism is still not fully aware. Here, we firstly identified miR-134 as a target of C/EBPα in MCF7 breast cancer cell lines. C/EBPα overexpression promoted miR-134 expression, causing suppression of apoptosis- protective genes CREB and Bcl-2, and resulted in the proliferation inhibition of MCF7 cells. Moreover, anti-miR-134 rescued the proliferation inhibition of MCF7 cells and the suppression of anti-apoptotic genes CREB and Bcl-2 caused by C/EBPα overexpression. Collectively, C/EBPα inhibited cell growth in breast cancer cells via a novel pathway miR-134/CREB.
