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

Spinal osteosarcoma (OS) has been proven to be more difficult to treat owing to potently malignant metastasis. The present study aimed to explore the functional role of microRNA (miR)-373 in cell growth and invasion of OS cells, as well as its underlying mechanism. The expression of miR-373 was analyzed in spinal OS tissues and cell lines. MG-63 cells were transfected with the miR-373 mimic or inhibitor and/or treated with the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) (LY294002) inhibitor or Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (Rac) guanosine triphosphate (GTPase) (NSC23766) inhibitor, and then the impact of miR-373 aberrant expression on cell growth and invasion was measured, along with the impact of overexpressing miR-373 on the expression of p53 and PI3K/AKT pathway-related proteins. We found that miR-373 was specifically upregulated in spinal OS tissues (p < 0.01) and OS cell lines (p < 0.01 or p < 0.001). Moreover, miR-373 expression was significantly associated with TNM stage (p = 0.035) and tumor size (p = 0.002). Overexpression of miR-373 promoted MG-63 cell viability, migration, invasion, and colony formation (all p < 0.05), while silencing of miR-373 and LY294002 exerted the opposite effects. Additionally, miR-373 overexpression downregulated p53 as well as its downstream targeted genes and orderly activated the PI3K/AKT-Rac1-JNK signaling pathway. In conclusion, miR-373 promotes growth and cellular invasion in OS cells by activating the PI3K/AKT-Rac1-JNK pathway. Therefore, miR-373 might be a candidate for molecular targeted therapy of spinal OS.
