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

Metastasis is the most powerful predictor of poor outcome of Ewing sarcoma (ES). Thus, identification of new molecules involved in tumor metastasis is of crucial importance to reduce morbidity and mortality of this devastating disease. In this study, we found that miR-124, a highly conserved miRNA, was suppressed in ES tissues and might be associated with tumor metastasis through suppressing its mesenchymal features. Overexpression of miR-124 suppressed the invasion of ES cells in vitro and tumor metastasis in vivo, which might be achieved through suppressing its mesenchymal features, as overexpression of miR-124 could repress the mesenchymal genes expression, and inhibit cell differentiation to mesenchymal lineages in ES cells. However, when SLUG was experimentally restored in these cells, mesenchymal features including suppressed expression of mesenchymal genes and decreased invasive ability were observed. We also found that cyclin D2 (CCND2) was a novel target gene of miR-124, and was directly involved in miR-124-mediated suppressive effects on cell growth. Lastly, we found that treatment with 5-Aza-CdR restored the expression of miR-124, accompanied with suppressed cell proliferation, invasion and mesenchymal features of ES cells, which demonstrated that hypermethylation might be involved in the regulation of miR-124 expression. Collectively, our data suggest that hypermethylation-mediated suppression of miR-124 might be involved in the tumor initiation and metastasis through suppressing the mesenchymal features of ES cells.
