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

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) may act as either tumor suppressors or oncogenes in various types of cancers. Previous studies have indicated that miR-17-5p is involved in the initiation and development of human tumors. However, its mechanism and function in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) remain largely unclear. In this study, we evaluated the expression profiles of miR-17-5p and p21 in NPC cell lines and tissues by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). For the analysis, we have established a stable overexpression or depletion of miR-17-5p NPC cell lines for analyzing the effects of cell proliferation by MTT, colony formation, and cell cycle assay. A nude mice xenograft model was used to verify the tumor growth in vivo. MiR-17-5p was overexpressed, whereas the expression of p21 was downregulated in NPC cell lines and tissues. The miR-17-5p expression level was inversely correlated with the p21 mRNA level in NPC samples. Furthermore, analysis of 2
