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

MicroRNA-193b (miRNA-193b) is often differentially expressed and is an important regulator of gene expression in colon cancer. The aim of the present study was to determine whether miRNA-193b affects cell growth in colon cancer and to investigate the potential underlying mechanisms. Patients with colorectal cancer (CRC; n=20) and healthy volunteers (n=10) were enrolled from the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery Center, First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University (Guangzhou, China). Western blot analysis was used to evaluate the protein expression of SMAD3 and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) in the patient samples. It was determined that miRNA-193b expression was markedly elevated in the CRC tissue samples. Furthermore, silencing of miRNA-193bin SW620 CRC cells by specific inhibitors significantly reduced the cell proliferation and induced apoptosis. In addition, the downregulation of miRNA-193b significantly activated the protein expression of SMAD3 and TGF-β, and promoted caspase-3 activity in SW620 cells. The results of the present study suggested that the deregulation of miRNA-193b may affect cell growth in colon cancer via the TGF-β and SMAD3 signaling pathways.
