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

Thyroid-carcinoma (THCA) is the most common malignancy with an increasing incidence. Recent evidence has emphasized the role of microRNA (miRNA) in THCA. However, knowledge concerning the roles of miRNAs in THCA is still limited. We therefore use a miRNA-target gene differential regulatory network (MGDRN) to identify key miRNAs and characterize their synergistic regulation in THCA. Both miRNA-target gene interactions from multiple databases and negative expression correlations between miRNA-target genes were used to characterize the interactions. Then, two regulatory networks involving normal and tumor conditions were constructed, respectively. The MGDRN was finally constructed using different interactions between the above two regulatory networks. By analyzing topological features of the MGDRN, four miRNAs (hsa-mir-152-3p, hsa-mir-148a, hsa-mir-130b and hsa-mir-15b) are identified as key miRNAs in THCA. Over-expression of mir-152-3p inhibited proliferation and colony formation of TPC-1 cells. Furthermore, mir-152-3p negatively regulated ERBB3 by binding to the 3'-UTR of ERBB3, and down-regulation of ERBB3 by small interfering (si)RNAs inhibited proliferation and colony formation of TPC-1 cells, indicating that mir-152-3p acted as an anti-tumor miRNA by negatively regulating ERBB3. Finally, two synergistically dysregulated modules were identified which may contribute to the initiation and progression of THCA. Overall, the results provided a better understanding of the molecular basis of THCA, and suggested novel treatment strategies for this cancer.
