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

Our previous study revealed that microRNA (miR) ‑30c represents a potential tumor suppressor gene, the expression of which is associated with decreased oncogenic potential in prostate cancer (PCa) cell lines. However, the functional role and underlying mechanisms of miR‑30c in PCa remain to be fully elucidated. Reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemical analysis were used to detect the expression levels of alternative splicing factor/splicing factor 2 (ASF/SF2) in PCa tissues. A luciferase reporter assay was used to investigate whether ASF/SF2 may be a direct target gene of miR‑30c. In addition, the effects of miR‑30c on the proliferation and apoptosis of PCa cell lines were examined, following transfection with miR‑30c mimics. Furthermore, correlation analysis was performed to investigate the relationship between the expression of miR‑30c and ASF/SF2 and various clinicopathological parameters of patients with PCa. The present results demonstrated that PCa tissues exhibited higher levels of alternative splicing factor/splicing factor 2 (ASF/SF2), compared with normal tissues. In addition, miR‑30c was revealed to targete the 3'‑untranslated region of the ASF/SF2 gene, causing a decrease in the mRNA and protein levels of ASF/SF2. Furthermore, miR‑30c was reported to decrease cell proliferation, increase the percentage of cells in the G1 cell cycle phase, and promote apoptosis through the inhibition of ASF/SF2. Following correlation analysis using patient samples, the expression of ASF/SF2 was revealed to be tightly correlated with the pathological stage of PCa and biochemical recurrence (BCR). In addition, patients with PCa exhibiting low expression levels of miR‑30c and high expression of ASF/SF2 had significantly lower rates of BCR‑free survival. In conclusion, the present study suggested that the tumor suppressor miR‑30c may be involved in PCa tumorigenesis, possibly via targeting ASF/SF2. The combined analysis of the expression of ASF/SF2 and miR‑30c may be a valuable tool for early prediction of BCR in patients with PCa following radical prostatectomy.
