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

This study aims to explore the effects of microRNA-27a (miR-27a) targeting of SFRP1 on the proliferation, migration and invasion of breast cancer (BC) cells through the regulation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. BC and normal breast tissues were obtained from 396 female BC patients and 308 female patients with benign breast lesions respectively. Human normal mammary epithelial (MCF-10A) and BC cell lines (BT-20, MCF-7, T-47D and MDA-MB-231) were cultured. After cell transfection, BC cells were assigned to six groups: control, miR-27a mimics, miR-27a inhibitors, negative control (NC), si-SFRP1 and si-SFRP1 + miR-27a inhibitors groups. qRT-PCR assay and Western blot were employed to detect the expressions of miR-27a, SFRP1, Wnt, β-catenin and GSK3β. MTT assay, wound-healing test and Transwell assay were used to test cell proliferation, migration and invasion. BC tissues were found to have higher miR-27a expression and lower SFRP1 mRNA and protein expressions than MCF-10A cells and normal breast tissues. Compared with the control and NC groups, the miR-27a mimics and si-SFRP1 groups exhibited down-regulation of SFRP1, up-regulation of Wnt, β-catenin and GSK3β, and promotion of cell proliferation, migration and invasion. The miR-27a inhibitor group showed up-regulation of SFRP1 and inhibition of cell proliferation, migration and invasion in comparison to the miR-27a mimic group. The si-SFRP1 + miR-27a inhibitors group also exhibited up-regulation of SFRP1 and inhibition of cell proliferation, migration and invasion in comparison to the si-SFRP1 group. miR-27a may activate the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway by negatively regulating SFRP1 to promote the proliferation, migration and invasion of BC cells.
