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

Overcoming chemoresistance is a challenge in clinical treatment. It has been reported that microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in regulating chemosensitivity. Therefore, the present study aimed to identify the effect and mechanism of miR-15 on colon cancer chemotherapy. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction was performed to measure miR-15 level sin62-paired colon cancer and para-cancerous colon tissues. The overexpression of miR-15 in HCT116 cells was induced by transfection. The effect of miR-15 on the chemosensitivity of colon cancer cells to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and Oxaliplatin (OX) was determined using a luminescent cell viability assay. Flow cytometry, dual-luciferase assay and western blot analysis were used to determine the potential mechanism of miR-15. The results suggested that the expression of miR-15 was decreased in tumour tissues and that overexpression of miR-15 increased the chemosensitivity of colon cancer cells to 5-Fu and OX. miR-15 promoted apoptosis in colon cancer cells treated with 5-Fu and OX by inhibiting the expression of p50, which repressed the expression of B cell lymphoma-2 and B cell lymphoma-extra large; two direct target genes of nuclear factor-κB with anti-apoptotic functions. Thus, the current study demonstrated that miR-15 increased the chemosensitivity of colon cancer cells to 5-FU and OX by inhibiting the NF-κB signalling pathway and inducing apoptosis.
