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

MicroRNA-106a-5p (MiR-106a-5p), a small non-coding RNA, has been reported to be downregulated in astrocytoma, osteosarcoma and colorectal cancer. However, the expression levels and biological function in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) have not been studied yet. In this study, we found that the miR-106a-5p was significantly downregulated in RCC tissues and cell lines, and that overexpression of miR-106a-5p led to decreased cell metastasis ability in a xenograft model. Inhibition of miR-106a-5p in RCC cell lines altered the cell migration, invasion and wound healing abilities. Mechanistic studies demonstrated that miR-106a-5p directly bound to the 3'-UTR of the PAK5 mRNA and mediated a decrease in the protein expression of PAK5. We further proved that PAK5 protein levels were negatively correlated with the miR-106a-5p expression in both patient samples and xenograft model. In epigenetics, methylation specific PCR experiments indicated that the upstream gene promoter of miR-106a-5p was hypermethylated in RCC, which might be responsible for its downregulation. Our findings suggested that miR-106a-5p might be a potential gene therapy target for the treatment of RCC metastasis.
