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 microRNA (miR)-1 has been observed in many human malignancies. However, the function and underlying mechanism of miR-1 remains elusive. To address the specific role of miR-1 in tumor glycolysis using the gain- or loss-of-function studies. Metabolic studies combined with gene expression analysis were performed in vitro and in vivo. We demonstrated aberrant expression of miR-1 in aerobic glycolysis, the Warburg effect, in cancer cells. MiR-1 suppressed aerobic glycolysis and tumor cell proliferation via inactivation of Smad3 and targeting HIF-1α, leading to reduce HK2 and MCT4 expression, which illustrated a novel pathway to mediate aerobic glycolysis in cancer cells. Overexpression of miR-1 mimics significantly decreased tumor glycolysis, including lactate production and glucose uptake, and cell proliferation, and these effects were reversed by ectopic expression of Smad3. Importantly, endogenous Smad3 regulated and interacted with HIF-1α, resulting in increasing activity of Smad3, and this interaction was dramatically abolished by addition of miR-1. We further demonstrated that Smad3 was central to the effects of miR-1 in colorectal cancer cells, establishing a previously unappreciated mechanism by which the miR-1/Smad3/HIF-1α axis facilitates the Warburg effect to promote cancer progression in vitro and in vivo. The results indicate that miR-1 may have an essential role as a tumor suppressor, suggesting its potential role in molecular therapy of patients with advanced colorectal cancer.
