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

backgroundAberrant expression of microRNAs contributes to tumor growth and progression.

aimsThis study was designed to explore the prognostic and biological significance of miR-330 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

methodsThe expression of miR-330 and its associations with tumor parameters and overall survival were analyzed in HCC patients. The biological functions of miR-330 in HCC cell growth, invasion, and tumorigenesis were investigated. Bioinformatic analysis and luciferase reporter assays were performed to search for potential targets of miR-330.

resultsThe miR-330 level was significantly higher in HCCs than in adjacent normal tissues (P = 0.0085). High expression of miR-330 was significantly associated with more aggressive phenotypes and shorter overall survival in HCC. Loss- and gain-of-function studies indicated the favorable effect of miR-330 on tumor cell growth, invasion, and tumorigenesis. Inhibitor of growth 4 (ING4) was identified to be a direct target of miR-330. Overexpression of miR-330 reduced the expression of ING4 in HCC cells. Importantly, restoration of ING4 almost completely reversed the promotion of HCC cell proliferation and invasion by miR-330.

conclusionsAltogether, this study demonstrates that upregulation of miR-330 is associated with poor prognosis and contributes to more aggressive phenotypes of HCC. The oncogenic role of miR-330 in HCC is linked to downregulation of ING4.
