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

MicroRNA-141 (miR-141) has been reported to function as tumor suppressor in many types of cancer. However, the molecular function and underlying mechanisms of miR-141 in glioma is still unknown. The aims of this study were to investigate miR-141 expression and determine its biological function and underlying mechanism in glioma. In this study, we found that miR-141 expression levels, both in glioma cell lines and in tissues, were significantly lower than that in a normal human astrocyte cell line or adjacent non-cancerous tissues. Overexpression of miR-141 significantly inhibited glioma cell proliferation, colony formation, migration and invasion in vitro, as well as suppressed glioma tumor growth in vivo. In addition, transforming growth factor beta 2 (TGF-β2) was identified as a target of miR-141 in glioma cells. TGF-β2 expression was also found to be upregulated, and negatively associated with miR-141 in glioma tissues. TGF-β2 over-expression partly reversed the effect caused by transfection of miR-141 mimic. These findings together suggested that miR-141 functioned as tumor suppressor by targeting TGF-β2, and that miR-141 might be a promising therapeutic strategy for future treatment of glioma.
