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

backgroundThe current study aims to elucidate the role of miRNA-338-3p (miR-338-3p) in the invasion of renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

methodsQuantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was performed to detect the expression of miR-338-3p in human RCC cell lines with high metastatic potential (Caki-1) and low metastatic potential (786-O), respectively. The Caki-1 and 786-O cells were transfected with miR-338-3p mimic or inhibitor. Wound healing assay, Transwell assay and western blotting were performed to analyze the invasive ability and expression of activin receptor-like kinase 5 (ALK5) in the RCC cell lines. During the 36-month follow-up, we detected the expressions of miR-338-3p and ALK5 in 22 RCC cases with metastasis and 60 cases achieving a remission.

resultsmiR-339-3p was significantly downregulated in the Caki-1 cells as compared with the 786-O cells. The transfection with miR-338-3p inhibitor caused an increased invasive ability of both two cell lines. However, the transfection with miR-338-3p mimic caused a reduction of the invasiveness. In RCC cells, the expression of ALK5 was negatively correlated to miR-338-3p. Upregulation of ALK5 partially counteracted the miR-338-3p-induced invasiveness of RCC cells. We subsequently found the negative correlations between miR-338-3p and metastasis/ALK5 expression could be also observed in human RCC tissues.

conclusionTaken together, these results indicate that miR-338-3p acts as a novel tumor suppressor to inhibit the invasion of RCC by regulating ALK5 expression.
