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

purposeSome microRNA (miRNA) levels have been found to be dysregulated in cancer patients, suggesting the potential usefulness of miRNAs in cancer therapies. The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression of miR-142-5p in human renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and its potential role in tumor growth and metastasis.

methodsThe expression level of miR-142-5p in human RCC tissue and cell lines was determined by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction analysis. MTT, colony formation, Transwell, and cell cycle assays were performed to explore the potential functions of miR-142-5p in human RCC cells. The potential target gene of miR-142-5p was identified and confirmed via luciferase reporter assays.

resultsmiR-142-5p expression was elevated in RCC tissues and cell lines. Overexpression of miR-142-5p significantly promoted cell proliferation and colony formation and could prevent G1 phase arrest among RCC 786-O cells. Meanwhile, the migration potential of 786-O cells was greater than that of control cells. BTG3 was identified as a direct target of miR-142-5p, and re-expression of BTG3 reversed the miR-142-5p-induced cell proliferation.

conclusionmiR-142-5p promoted the proliferation and migration of RCC cells by targeting BTG3. With this potential onco-miRNA role in the progression of RCC, miR-142-5p may be a therapeutic target for the treatment of RCC.
