MiR-661 promotes tumor invasion and metastasis by directly inhibiting RB1 in non small cell lung cancer.
Article in Molecular cancer, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 49 papers.
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.
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
backgroundAberrant microRNA expression has been implicated in metastasis of cancers. MiR-661 accelerates proliferation and invasion of breast cancer and ovarian cancer, while impedes that of glioma. Its role in non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and underlying mechanism are worthy elucidation.
methodsExpression of miR-661 was measured with real-time PCR in both NSCLC tissues and cell lines. The effects of miR-661 on migration, invasion and metastasis capacity of NSCLC were evaluated using wound healing, transwell assay and animal models. Dual reporter luciferase assay and complementary experiments were performed to validate RB1 as a direct target of miR-661 for participation in the progression of NSCLC.
resultsMiR-661 was upregulated in NSCLC tissues as compared to paired adjacent tissues and associated with shorter overall survival. Furthermore, miR-661 promoted proliferation, migration and metastasis of NSCLC. Then, we identified RB1 as a direct target of miR-661 through which miR-661 affected EMT process and metastasis of NSCLC. RB1 interacted with E2F1 and both could mediate EMT process in NSCLC.
conclusionMiR-661 promotes metastasis of NSCLC through RB/E2F1 signaling and EMT events, thus may serves as a negative prognostic factor and possible target for treatment of NSCLC patient.
