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

MicroRNAs are important factors in the pathogenic processes of human types of cancers including nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). In the present study, we confirmed that the microRNA-212 expression level was significantly decreased both in NPC tissues and NPC cell lines. Decreased expression of miR-212 was associated with advanced tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stage and metastasis of NPC. Patients with a lower level of miR-212 had significantly decreased rates of overall and disease-free survival. Functional experiments showed that forced expression of miR-212 inhibited the migration and invasion of NPC cells while inhibition of miR-212 increased the migration and invasion of NPC cells. Furthermore, the results of luciferase assay, qRT-PCR and western blotting showed that SOX4 was the direct downstream target of miR-212 in NPC cells. In addition, we further confirmed that miR-212 exerted its inhibitory influence on the migration and invasion of NPC cells by targeting SOX4.
