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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesMicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs involved in pathogenesis and progression of human malignancies. MicroRNA-491-5p (miR-491-5p) is down-regulated in many human cancers where it would serve as a tumour suppressor. However, the role played by miR-491-5p in pathogenesis of human osteosarcoma has remained largely unknown. This study has been conducted to examine effects of miR-491-5p on migration and proliferation of cells of the SAOS-2 and MG63 osteosarcoma lines, and mechanisms of those effects. MATERIALS AND

methodsLevels of miR-491-5p expression in osteosarcoma tissues and in human osteosarcoma cell lines were studied using qualitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) methods. Cell viability was detected using the CCK-8 and EdU assays, while the transwell assay was used to evaluate migration and invasion. Apoptosis was analysed uing flow cytometry and the Hoechst 33342 nuclear staining method. A dual-luciferase reporter system was used to confirm the target gene of miR-491-5p. The electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) with DIG-labelled double-stranded FOXP4 oligonucleotides was used to confirm whether or not miR-491-5p suppressed FOXP4 activation.

resultsCells of osteosarcoma tissues and cell lines had low levels of miR-491-5p expression, but high levels of forkhead-box P4 (FOXP4) expression. Transfection of SAOS-2 and MG63 cells with miR-491-5p mimics inhibited expression of FOXP4 protein, which suppressed cell growth and migration, but induced apoptosis. Dual-luciferase reporter assays confirmed FOXP4 as the target gene for miR-491-5p. Overexpression of miR-491-5p suppressed FOXP4 activity in SAOS-2 and MG63 cells. Knockdown of FOXP4 in SAOS-2 and MG63 cells using an RNAi strategy resulted in reduced levels of cell proliferation and migration, but increased levels of apoptosis.

conclusionOur in vitro studies showed that up-regulation of miR-491-5p suppressed proliferation of the human osteosarcoma cells and induced apoptosis by targeting FOXP4. These findings suggest that miR-491-5p could be further studied as a potential clinical diagnostic or predictive biomarker for human osteosarcoma.
