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

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), a World Health Organization grade IV glioma, is the most common and aggressive primary brain tumor in humans. microRNAs (miRNAs) are aberrantly expressed in numerous cancer types, including GBM. Abnormally expressed miRNAs are commonly associated with malignant characteristics of GBM, including malignant growth, proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, metastasis and resistance to chemotherapy. miRNA (miR)‑376a is abnormally expressed in multiple human cancers; however, the expression pattern and role of miR‑376a in GBM, and the underlying molecular mechanisms by which miR‑376a exerts its functions remain to be elucidated. Therefore, the aim of this study was to measure miR‑376a expression and determine its biological roles in GBM as well as its associated molecular mechanism. In the present study, miR‑376a expression was markedly downregulated in GBM tissues and cell lines. Overexpression of miR‑376a markedly decreased the proliferation and invasion of GBM cells in vitro. In the present study, specificity protein 1 (SP1) was demonstrated to be a direct target of miR‑376a. In addition, a negative association between SP1 mRNA and miR‑376a expression was observed in GBM tissues. SP1 upregulation reduced the effects of miR‑376a overexpression on GBM cell proliferation and invasion. miR‑376a may be a therapeutic target for the treatment of patients with GBM.
