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

Tumor metastasis portrayed the most serious challenges of cancer as it is the major cause of mortality in patients with solid tumors, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this regard, anti-metastatic genes have a great potential for metastasis inhibition. Recent evidence pointed to a role of Breast cancer metastasis suppressor 1 (BRMS1) in suppression of metastasis of several types of cancers, whereas the regulation of BRMS1 in HCC remains unknown. Here, we used bioinformatics analyses to predict BRMS1-targeting microRNAs (miRNAs), and evaluated the functional binding of miRNAs to BRMS1 mRNA using a dual luciferase reporter assay. Among all BRMS1-targeting miRNAs, we only detected significant expression of miR-626, miR-1289 and miR-423 in HCC specimens. Specifically, we found that only miR-423 significantly inhibited protein translation of BRMS1 via specific binding to 3'-UTR of the BRMS1 mRNA. Moreover, we detected significantly lower levels of BRMS1 and significantly higher levels of miR-423 in the HCC specimens, relative to paired adjacent non-tumor liver tissue. Furthermore, BRMS1 and miR-423 levels were correlated inversely. Overexpression of miR-423 significantly decreased BRMS1 levels and promoted HCC cell invasion, while depletion of miR-423 significantly increased BRMS1 levels and inhibited HCC cell invasion. This study sheds light on miR-423 as a crucial factor that enhances HCC cell invasiveness, and suggests miR-423 as a promising therapeutic target for HCC treatment.
