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

MiR-34a acts as tumor suppressor microRNA (miRNA) in several cancers, including multiple myeloma (MM), by controlling the expression of target proteins involved in cell cycle, differentiation and apoptosis. Here, we have investigated the combination between miR-34a and γ-secretase inhibitor (γSI), Sirtinol or zoledronic acid (ZOL) in order to enhance the inhibitory action of this miRNA on its canonical targets such as Notch1 and SIRT1, and on Ras/MAPK-dependent pathways. Our data demonstrate that miR-34a synthetic mimics significantly enhance the anti-tumor activity of all the above-mentioned anti-cancer agents in RPMI 8226 MM cells. We found that γSI enhanced miR-34a-dependent anti-tumor effects by activating the extrinsic apoptotic pathway which could overcome the cytoprotective autophagic mechanism. Moreover, the combination between miR-34a and γSI increased the cell surface calreticulin (CRT) expression, that is well known for triggering anti-tumor immunological response. The combination between miR-34a and Sirtinol induced the activation of an intrinsic apoptotic pathway along with increased surface expression of CRT. Regarding ZOL, we found a powerful growth inhibition after enforced miR-34a expression, which was not likely attributable to neither apoptosis nor autophagy modulation. Based on our data, the combination of miR-34a with other anti-cancer agents appears a promising anti-MM strategy deserving further investigation.
