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

Constitutive activation of TGF‑β signaling pathway is a well-documented mechanism responsible for the bone metastasis of prostate cancer (PCa). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been reported to be crucial for the activation of TGF‑β signaling via targeting downstream components of TGF‑β signaling pathway. Here, we report that miR‑19a‑3p is downregulated in bone metastatic PCa tissues and cells. Upregulation of miR‑19a‑3p suppresses invasion, migration in vitro and inhibits bone metastasis in vivo in PCa cells. Conversely, silencing miR‑19a‑3p yields the opposite effect. Our results further demonstrate that miR‑19a‑3p inhibits invasion and migration abilities of PCa cells via targeting downstream effectors of TGF‑β signaling, SMAD2 and SMAD4, resulting in the inactivation of TGF‑β signaling. Therefore, our results uncover a novel mechanistic understanding of miR‑19a‑3p-induced suppressive role in bone metastasis of PCa, which will facilitate the development of effective cancer therapy methods against PCa.
