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

Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), the most common form of laryngeal carcinoma, is an aggressive malignancy that demonstrates the second highest rate of morbidity of all head and neck squamous cell carcinomas. The abnormal expression of microRNAs (miRs) has been demonstrated in a number of types of human cancer, and they have been demonstrated to be oncogenes or tumour suppressor genes. miR‑503 has been studied in various types of human cancer; however, the expression level, roles and underlying mechanisms in LSCC remain unknown. In the present study, it was demonstrated that miR‑503 was significantly upregulated in LSCC tissues and cell lines. The level of miR‑503 in LSCC tissues was correlated with thyroid cartilage invasion, lymph node metastasis, and tumour, node and metastasis stage. In addition, down‑regulation of miR‑503 inhibited cell proliferation and invasion in LSCC. Programmed cell death protein 4 (PDCD4) was identified to be a direct target gene of miR‑503. PDCD4 overexpression could mimic the roles of miR‑503 underexpression in LSCC. Furthermore, PDCD4 was down‑regulated in LSCC tissues and this correlated with the miR‑503 expression level. In conclusion, these results suggested that miR‑503 promotes tumour growth and invasion by directly targeting PDCD4. The identification of the miR‑503/PDCD4 axis may provide novel targets for LSCC treatment and improve prognosis.
