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

backgroundDysregulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) have been demonstrated to contribute to carcinogenesis. MiR-143-3p has been identified to function as a tumor suppressor in several tumors, but the role of miR-143-3p in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) has not been intensively investigated. Our aim was to evaluate the potential role of miR-143-3p in the progression of ESCC.

methodsThe expression levels of miR-143-3p and QKI-5 protein were measured in 80 resected ESCC tumor specimens and the clinicopathological significance of these levels determined. We also investigated the role of miR-143-3p in the regulation of QKI-5 expression in ESCC cell lines both in vivo and in vitro.

resultsMiR-143-3p levels were decreased in ESCC clinical samples and low expression of miR-143-3p was significantly associated with poor prognosis in ESCC patients. Ectopic expression of miR-143-3p suppressed proliferation and induced apoptosis in ESCC cells both in vivo and in vitro. Ectopic expression of miR-143-3p also reduced the metastatic potential of cells by selectively regulating epithelial-mesenchymal transition regulatory proteins. Furthermore, QKI-5 isoform was upregulated in ESCC tissues and was a direct target of miR-143-3p. Lastly, re-introduction of QKI-5 expression abrogated the inhibitory effects of miR-143-3p on ESCC cell proliferation and motility.

conclusionsOur results demonstrate that miR-143-3p acts as a tumor-suppressor by targeting QKI-5 in ESCC, suggesting that miR-143-3p is a potential therapy for the treatment of ESCC.
