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

We adopted into RNA-sequencing technologies to construct the microRNA (miRNA) expression signature of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Our signature revealed that a total of 160 miRNAs (44 upregulated and 116 downregulated) were aberrantly expressed in cancer tissues. Expression of miR-150-5p (guide strand miRNA) and miR-150-3p (passenger strand miRNA) were significantly silenced in cancer tissues, suggesting both miRNAs act as antitumor miRNAs in HNSCC cells. Ectopic expression of mature miRNAs, miR-150-5p and miR-150-3p inhibited cancer cell aggressiveness. Low expression of miR-150-5p and miR-150-3p predicted significantly shorter overall survival in patients with HNSCC (P = 0.0091 and P = 0.0386) by Kaplan-Meier survival curves analyses. We identified that integrin α3 (ITGA3), integrin α6 (ITGA6), and tenascin C (TNC) were coordinately regulated by these miRNAs in HNSCC cells. Knockdown assays using siRNAs showed that ITGA3, ITGA6 and TNC acted as cancer promoting genes in HNSCC cells. Moreover, ITGA3, ITGA6, and TNC alterations were associated with significantly poorer overall survival (P = 0.0177, P = 0.0237, and P = 0.026, respectively). Dual strands of pre-150 (miR-150-5p and miR-150-3p) functioned as antitumor miRNAs based on the miRNA expression signature of HNSCC. Identification of antitumor miR-150-mediated RNA networks may provide novel insights into pathogenesis of HNSCC.
