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

Accumulating evidence suggests that microRNA (miR)-146a functions as an oncogene or tumor suppressor in various cancers. However, the role of miR‑146a in gastric cancer (GC) remains to be elucidated. The present study investigated the function of miR‑146a in GC cells. The results of the present study revealed that miR‑146a modulates GC cell apoptosis. Overexpression of miR‑146a significantly increased apoptosis of SGC‑7901 cells, whereas inhibition of miR‑146a protected cells from apoptosis. miR‑146a expression in GC cells was inversely correlated with transforming growth factor β‑activated kinase 1 (TAK1) expression, at the mRNA and protein levels. Furthermore, small interfering RNA‑mediated silencing of TAK1 enhanced GC cell apoptosis, whereas overexpression of TAK1 promoted survival of GC cells. Overexpression of miR‑146a or knockdown of TAK1 led to a marked increase in inhibitor of κBα (IκBα) and a decrease in B‑cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl‑2) expression levels in SGC‑7901 cells. By contrast, silencing of miR‑146a or TAK1 overexpression downregulated IκBα and upregulated Bcl‑2 expression levels. Therefore, the results of the present study demonstrated a novel negative feedback mechanism to promote GC cell apoptosis involving the miR‑146a/TAK1/nuclear factor-κB axis.
