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

The current study aimed to investigate the potential role of miR-9 in the inhibition of ovarian cancer progression through the stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1)/ C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) pathway and to provide a theoretical basis for the diagnosis and treatment of ovarian cancer. Human ovarian cancer OVCAR-3 cells were transfected with miR-9 short hairpin RNA (shRNA). The effect of miR-9 on the mRNA expression levels of CXCR4 were analyzed using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The effects of miR-9 on OVCAR-3 cell proliferation, invasion and apoptotic ability were detected using a 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide assay, Matrigel method, and Annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate flow cytometry, respectively. In addition, expression levels of SDF-1/CXCR4 pathway associated proteins were determined by western blot analysis. mRNA expression levels of CXCR4 in OVCAR-3 cells transfected with miR-9 shRNA was significantly downregulated compared with the blank and control groups (P<0.05). Furthermore, compared with the two control groups, the current results revealed that miR-9 inhibited cell proliferation, suppressed invasive ability and induced cell apoptosis in OVCAR-3 cells (P<0.05). Finally, it was observed that miR-9 functioned as a tumor inhibitor through the SDF-1/CXCR4 pathway by suppressing the expression levels of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 (ERK1), ERK2 and matrix metalloproteinase-9 proteins. The present study suggested that miR-9 may function as a promising tumor inhibitor for ovarian cancer through targeting the SDF-1/CXCR4 pathway.
