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

BACKGROUND MicroRNA-200c (miR-200c) is a short non-coding RNA that has a role in tumorigenesis and cancer progression. The aims of this study were to investigate the role of miR-200c in cell migration and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in endometrial carcinoma cells in vitro. MATERIAL AND METHODS Potential direct targets of miR-200c were identified through the TargetScan database. Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used study the expression of miR-200c in the endometrial carcinoma cell lines, Ishikawa and JEC, in vitro. Cell migration was studied using transwell assays. Expression of the mesenchymal marker, N-cadherin, the epithelial marker, E-cadherin, the transcription factor, Slug, the BMI-1 protein, AKT, and p-AKT were measured using Western blot. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) was used to silence the BMI-1 gene to study the targeting effect. RESULTS Over-expression of miR-200c in Ishikawa and JEC cells resulted in reduced cell migration and proliferation. Western blot showed that overexpression of miR-200c downregulated the expression of the BMI-1 protein, p-AKT, N-cadherin and Slug, and the expression E-cadherin was upregulated; silencing miR-200c reversed these results. Silencing the BMI-1 gene inhibited EMT and suppressed p-AKT in miR-200c-inhibited endometrial carcinoma cells by increasing E-cadherin expression, reducing the expression of N-cadherin and the EMT-associated transcription factor, Slug. CONCLUSIONS In endometrial carcinoma cells in vitro, miR-200c inhibited EMT by targeting the BMI-1 gene through the p-AKT pathway.
