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

Although microRNAs have been recognized as central cellular regulators, there is an evident lack of knowledge about their targets. Here, we analyzed potential target genes for miR-148a functioning in Ras signaling in B cells, including SOS1 and SOS2. A dual-luciferase reporter assay showed significantly decreased luciferase activity upon ectopic overexpression of miR-148a in HEK-293T cells that were co-transfected with the 3'UTR of either SOS1 or SOS2. Each of the 3'UTRs of SOS1 and SOS2 contained two binding sites for miR-148a both of which were necessary for the decreased luciferase activity. MiR-148a overexpression in HEK-293T lead to significantly reduced levels of both endogenous SOS1 and SOS2 proteins. Likewise, reduced levels of SOS proteins were found in two B cell lines that were transfected with miR-148a. The level of ERK1/2 phosphorylation as one of the most relevant downstream members of the Ras/ERK signaling pathway was also reduced in cells with miR-148a overexpression. The data show that miR-148a impairs the Ras/ERK signaling pathway via SOS1 and SOS2 proteins in B cells.
