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

purposeThis study aims to determine the expression of miR-34b-5p in thyroid carcinomas and to investigate the role of miR34b-5p in the modulation of proteins involved in angiogenesis of thyroid carcinoma cells.

methodsThe expressions of miR-34b-5p levels in five cell lines and 65 tissue samples from thyroid carcinomas were examined by real-time polymerase chain reaction. An exogenous miR-34b-5p (mimic) transiently overexpress miR-34b-5p in theses thyroid carcinoma cells. The effects of miR-34b-5p overexpression on the proteins involved in angiogenesis and cell cycle regulations (VEGF-A, Bcl-2 and Notch1) were investigated by Western blot, immunofluorescence, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay followed by cell cycle analysis and apoptosis assays.

resultsmiR-34b-5p is markedly downregulated in all thyroid carcinoma cell lines and tissues samples when compared with non-neoplastic immortalised thyroid cell line and non-neoplastic thyroid tissues, respectively. The expression levels of miR-34b were significantly associated with T-stages of thyroid carcinomas (p = 0.042). Downregulation of VEGF-A, Bcl-2 and Notch1 proteins in thyroid carcinoma cells were noted in cells that transiently transfected with miR-34b-5p mimic. In addition, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay confirmed the decreased expression of VEGF in thyroid carcinoma cells after transfection with miR-34b-5p mimic. Furthermore, miR-34b-5p mimic transfection induces significant accumulation of cells in G0-G1 of the cell cycle by blocking of their entry into the S transitional phase as well as increasing the total apoptosis.

conclusionsmiR-34b-5p functions as a potent regulator of angiogenesis, apoptosis and cell proliferation via modulation of VEGF-A, Bcl-2 and Notch1 proteins. It could be a target for developing treatment strategies of thyroid carcinoma with aggressive clinical behaviour.
