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

Choroidal melanoma is the most common intraocular tumor in adults, and overexpression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 or matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-2/MMP-9) is associated with angiogenesis and tumor metastasis of the choroidal malignant melanoma (CMM). This study aims to investigate the functions and mechanisms of microRNA or long non-coding RNA-targeted MMP-2/MMP-9 in CMM. We demonstrated that expressions of MMP-2/MMP-9 were increased in CMM tissues and C918 cells in comparison with normal choroidal melanocytes. Bio-informatics prediction and our experiments validated that MMP-2 and MMP-9 were simultaneously targeted by miR-296-3p and FOXC1 promoter upstream transcript (FOXCUT); the latter two exerted tumor-suppressing effects on CMM cells by inhibiting cell proliferation, cell cycle progression, migration, invasion, and induction of cell apoptosis. Furthermore, significant downregulations of miR-296-3p and FOXCUT were found in C918 cells compared with choroidal melanocytes from the unaffected eyes, and a positive correlation was observed between their levels in three cases of eye malignant melanomas. Our data indicated that MMP-2/MMP-9 was coordinately targeted by two non-coding RNAs, miR-296-3p and FOXCUT, which were decreased, and tumor-suppressing factors in CMM. Further study will show the possibility of developing them as therapeutic candidates for CMM.
