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

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most prevalent cancers among males and females worldwide. Despite progress in diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for CRC patients, the prognosis for patients with advanced CRC remains poor. MicroRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) are a class of highly conserved short, endogenously expressed and single‑stranded non‑coding RNAs. In recent years, increasing studies have demonstrated that dysregulation of miRNAs is closely associated with CRC carcinogenesis and progression. The aim of the present study was to explore the expression, roles and underlying molecular mechanism of miR‑130a in CRC. The results indicated that miR‑130a was significantly upregulated in CRC, and that miR‑130a expression levels were correlated with TNM stage and lymph node metastasis of CRC. Inhibition of miR‑130a markedly suppressed colorectal cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Furthermore, forkhead box F2 (FOXF2) was identified as a direct downstream target gene of miR‑130a in colorectal cancer. Downregulation of FOXF2 could partially reverse the functions induced by miR‑130a under‑expression in CRC cells. These findings suggested that miR‑130a can regulate FOXF2 and function as an oncogene in CRC. Therefore, miR‑130a may serve as a useful therapeutic agent for miRNA‑based CRC targeted therapy.
