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 is one of the main causes of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) high mortality. CRKL (v-crk sarcoma virus CT10 oncogene homologue (avian)-like) play important roles in tumor metastasis, however, the exact role and underlying mechanism of CRKL in HCC is still unknown. In our study, we demonstrated miR-429 negatively regulated CRKL expression via selectively binding to CRKL-3'-UTR at 3728-3735 bp site by post-transcriptionally mediating its functionality. Re-expression and silencing of miR-429 was remarkably effective in suppressing and promoting HepG2 cell migration and invasion in vitro. Knockdown or overexpression of CRKL exhibited similar effects as the overexpression or silencing of miR-429, whereas, CRKL overexpression (without the 3'-UTR) abrogated miR-429-induced inhibition on HepG2 migration and invasion. Moreover, miR-429-CRKL axis affected HepG2 migration and invasion potentials by regulating the adhesion ability, cytoskeleton F-actin expression and arrangement of HepG2. Furthermore, interference of Raf/MEK/ERK pathway and EMT contributed to miR-429-CRKL axis mediated metastasis inhibition. Nevertheless, miR-429 could not inhibit HepG2 proliferation through CRKL/c-Jun pathway. Taken together, our data demonstrated that miR-429 might function as an antimetastatic miRNA to regulate HCC metastasis by directly targeting CRKL via modulating Raf/MEK/ERK-EMT pathway. The newly identified miR-429-CRKL axis represents a novel potential therapeutic target for HCC treatment.
