Human papillomavirus E6-regulated microRNA-20b promotes invasion in cervical cancer by targeting tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 2.
Article in Molecular medicine reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 20 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
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection alone is not sufficient for development of cervical cancer and further risk factors are involved, however, the underlying mechanism remains to be elucidated. The authors previously used a microarray assay to reveal microR‑20b (miR‑20b) as a key node in the miRNA‑mRNA network of cervical carcinoma. The present study demonstrated an increased expression of miR‑20b in cervical carcinoma tissue. MiR‑20b was regulated by HPV E6 oncoprotein in cervical cancer. Furthermore, miR‑20b overexpression with mimics induced cell morphological alterations and the epithelial‑mesenchymal transition. Treating cervical cancer cells with the miR‑20b inhibitor decreased the migration and invasion of cervical cancer cells. Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 2 (TIMP‑2), a possible antagonist of matrix metalloproteinase 2, is a metastasis suppressor and predicted to be a potential target of miR‑20b. Fluorescence signals were decreased on transducing HeLa cells with a TIMP‑2 3'‑untranslated region plasmid and miR‑20b mimics compared with control. Finally, TIMP‑2 was identified as a novel target of miR‑20b and was demonstrated to be regulated by the HPV oncoprotein. In addition, miR‑20b and TIMP‑2 were involved in cell invasion regulated by HPV E6. The present study demonstrated a novel pathway of HPV/miR‑20b/TIMP‑2 during the process of invasion in cervical cancer cells.
