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

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play vital roles in cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). miR-26b has been confirmed as an important regulator in carcinogenesis and other pathological processes. miR-26b-5p is one member of the mature miR-26 family, and its functional role in proliferation, angiogenesis and apoptosis in HCC remains unknown. Here, we demonstrate that miR-26b-5p expression was significantly decreased in HCC tissues and HCC cell lines compared with normal liver tissues and liver cells by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The relationships between miR-26b-5p and the clinical characteristics of HCC patients were further analysed, and miR-26b-5p was positively correlated with the differentiation of HCC cells. Computational searches were further used to identify the downstream targets and signalling pathways of miR-26b-5p in HCC cells. Cell viability, proliferation and tube formation abilities were assessed by scrape, 3-(4,5 dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) and three-dimensional culture assays to confirm that miR-26b-5p inhibited HCC cell growth and impaired the tube formation ability of the HCC cells. Both in vitro and in vivo studies showed that miR-26b-5p could suppress vascular mimicry (VM) and angiogenesis by down-regulating the expression of VE-cadherin, Snail and MMP2 and could inhibit the apoptosis of HCC cells. Using mouse models, we revealed that tumours derived from miR-26b-5p-expressing HCC cells displayed a significant decrease in microvessel density compared with those derived from control cells. Therefore, our data provide further insight into the role of miR-26b-5p as a negative regulator of proliferation, angiogenesis, and apoptosis in HCC.
