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

The aberrant expression of miR-433 has been validated in some types of cancers. However, the expression profile and the biological function of miR-433 on colon cancer are still elusive. This study was designed to investigate the function of miR-433 on the proliferation and invasion of colon cancer cells. We detected the expression of miR-433 in colon cancer tissues, adjacent normal tissues, and cell lines. CCK8 and Transwell assays were performed to explore the impact of miR-433 on colon cancer cell proliferation and invasion. The luciferase reporter assay was applied to identify the direct target of miR-433. The results demonstrated that miR-433 was downregulated in colon cancer tissues and cell lines when compared with the control. Overexpression of miR-433 significantly suppressed the ability of colon cancer cell proliferation and invasion, whereas knockdown of miR-433 remarkably enhanced cell proliferation and invasion. Homeobox A1 (HOXA1) was identified as a target of miR-433, and it mediated the functions of miR-433 on colon cancer cells. To conclude, we revealed that miR-433 was downregulated in colon cancer, and it inhibited colon cancer cell proliferation and invasion by directly targeting HOXA1.
