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

The incidence and mortality of liver cancer increased year by year. Our country presents high incidence of liver cancer. MicroRNAs have tissue sensitivity as tumor biomarkers that play a role by promoting tumor growth as oncogenes or inhibit malignant cell growth as tumor suppressor genes. Studies showed that miR-15b abnormal expression in the tumor and can be treated as one of the tumor molecular markers. However, miR-15b expression and role in the liver cancer cells have not been elucidated. This study intended to explore the mechanism of miR-15b effect on liver cancer occurrence and development. Liver cancer cell line HepG2 was transfected with miR-15b mimic or inhibitor. Real-time PCR was applied to detect miR-15b expression. MTT was used to test cell proliferation. Transwell assay was performed to determine cell invasive ability. Real-time PCR and Western blot were used to detect BCL2 expression. MiR-15b mimic transfection promoted miR-15b overexpression and inhibited HepG2 cell proliferation significantly (P < 0.05). MiR-15b overexpression downregulated BCL2 mRNA and protein expression obviously (P < 0.05). On the contrary, miR-15b inhibitor transfection markedly reduced miR-15b expression in liver cancer cells (P < 0.05), promoted tumor cell proliferation, and increased BCL2 mRNA and protein expression. MiR-15b expression changes did not affect cell invasion (P > 0.05). MiR-15b can inhibit HepG2 cell proliferation and down-regulate BCL2 mRNA and protein expression.
