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

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide. Chemoresistance occurrence is a major cause of treatment failure in HCC. Currently, extensive research has revealed diverse mechanisms for chemoresistance, but the molecular mechanisms underlying the role of miRNAs in resistance to 5-FU are not confirmed in HCC cells. By quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis, we found that miR-144 was significantly decreased in HCC cell lines. It has been further demonstrated that miR-144 were significantly down-regulated in Bel-7402/5-FU cells compared with parental Bel-7402 cells by qRT-PCR and western blot. The expression of Nrf2 was reversely correlated to that of miR-144 in HCC cells. Moreover, Enhancement of 5-FU-induced cytotoxicity and apoptosis are resulted from the transfection with miR-144 mimics in Bel-7402/5-FU cells. Mechanically, miR-144 promoted nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor-2 (Nrf2) mRNA degradation by directly targeting the Nrf2 3'untranslated region (3'UTR). In addition, ectopic expression of miR-144 in Bel-7402/5-FU cells reduced the levels of Nrf2 and inhibited the transcription of Nrf2-dependent HO-1 gene, thus contributing to 5-FU sensibilization. Conversely, re-expression of Nrf2 partly attenuated the chemosensibilization of miR-144. Our study showed that miR-144 serves as a potential chemoresistance-reversal agent in hepatocellular carcinoma cells, which is at least partly due to the down-regulation of Nrf2-dependent antioxidant pathway.
