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

purposeThe incidence of thyroid cancer is increasing and the proliferation of thyroid cancer cells is incompletely understood. microRNAs may play key roles in thyroid cancer progression.

methodsWe analyzed miR-340-5p in thyroid cancer tissue and normal tissue, and using informatics to predict its target. Cell lines and a mouse model were used to study the role of miR-340-5p in cancer proliferation.

resultsOverexpression of miR-340-5p was found in thyroid cancer specimens. Tumors with higher pathological grade had higher levels of miR-340-5p. Overexpression of miR-340-5p significantly enhanced cell viability and colony formation. Treatment of anti-miR-340-5p, however, showed opposite alterations. We predicted that bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) is a possible target, and found a negative correlation between miR-340-5p and BMP4 levels in thyroid cancer tissue. miR-340-5p reduced BMP4 expression. BMP4 overexpression attenuated the effects of miR-340-5p in cell viability and colony formation. In addition, using a xenograft mouse model we proved that anti-miR-340-5p was able to inhibit tumor growth.

conclusionsmiR-340-5p promotes thyroid cancer proliferation by inhibiting BMP4. Anti-miR-340-5p can be a promising strategy to control thyroid cancer.
