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

Altered microRNA (miRNA) expression plays a role in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) development; thus, detection of blood-circulating miRNAs could be useful as CCA markers. This study profiled serum miRNA levels in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and CCA and then assessed the role of miR-150-5p in CCA progression in vitro. Three samples were randomly selected from each of 50 sera of healthy controls, 30 PSC sera, and 28 CCA sera with matched bile samples for miRNA microarray profiling. The dysregulated miRNAs were confirmed using qRT-PCR, and miR-150-5p was selected for further in vitro and ex vivo studies. The miRNA microarray identified three dysregulated miRNAs in both CCA and PSC samples, while miR-150-5p level was consistently lower in CCA sera, bile, and tissues than in normal control and PSC sera (P < 0.05). Furthermore, levels of miR-150-5p were associated with serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) levels and CCA pathological grade. Bioinformatic Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and Gene Ontology (GO) analyses showed that miR-150-5p could regulate hand-full gene pathways, including cancer pathway (P < 0.01). However, overexpression of miR-150-5p inhibited proliferation, migration, and invasion capability of CCA cells (P < 0.05). Luciferase reporter assay showed that miR-150-5p bound to an oncogene Ets including gene-1 (ELK1), and Western blot data confirmed that miR-150-5p suppressed ELK1 expression in CCA cell lines. These results suggest that reduced miR-150-5p expression could contribute to CCA development and progression due to uncontrolled ELK1 expression. Thus, further study could evaluate miR-150-5p as a novel target and predictor for CCA prevention and treatment.
