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

Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are a heterogeneous population of early myeloid progenitors, which possess strong immunosuppressive functions. MDSCs are found in increased numbers in infectious and inflammatory pathological conditions. However, whether microRNAs have a role in the expansion remains unclear. Here in our study, we found that overexpression of miR-34a could induce the expansion of MDSCs in the bone marrow and spleen both in chimera and transgenic mice. And further experiments demonstrated that miR-34a inhibited the apoptosis through reduced translation of N-myc without affecting the proliferation. Luciferase assay and western blotting experiments implied that N-myc is the direct target of miR-34a in MDSCs. Overexpressed mir-34a changes the cytokine expression profile in MDSCs and skewed the MDSCs to M1 phenotype. And miR-34a-overexpressed MDSCs significantly slowed down the tumor growth. Taken together, miR-34a contributes to the expansion of MDSCs by inhibiting the apoptosis via suppressing the expression of N-myc.
