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

Aberrant expression of certain microRNAs (miRNAs) has been shown to contribute to the development of Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). However, the involvement of miR-137 in the carcinogenesis of GBM has not been reported. Here, we showed that miR-137 levels in GBM tissues were significantly lower than the paired normal brain tissue in patients' specimens. Moreover, low miR-137 levels in GBM tissue were associated with poor prognosis. In vitro, overexpression of miR-137 decreased GBM cell growth and increased cell apoptosis, while depletion of miR-137 enhanced cell growth and decreased cell apoptosis. Combined bioinformatics analysis and dual luciferase reporter assay showed that miR-137 may target the 3'-UTR of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) to reduce its protein translation, resulting in suppression of EGFR signaling in GBM cells. Together, our data suggest that reduction in miR-137 levels in GBM tissues may increase cell growth and decrease cell apoptosis, possibly through suppression of EGFR.
