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

backgroundMicroRNAs have emerged as critical modulators of carcinogenesis and tumor progression including renal cell carcinoma (RCC). MiR-622 plays as a tumor inhibitor in some types of cancer, however, its role in kidney cancer is unknown. The purpose of the present work is to investigate the functional behaviors and regulatory mechanism of miR-622 in RCC.

resultsWe examined the expression of miR-622 in RCC and adjacent normal tissues and then explored the roles of miR-622. The results of this analysis indicated that miR-622 activity was significantly downregulated in RCC tissues compared with the corresponding normal tissues, so did in RCC cell lines. MiR-622 was associated with RCC aggressiveness. MiR-622 in RCC cells decreased CCL18 expression and suppressed CCL18 activated MAPK signal pathway. Using Western blot and luciferase reporter assays, it was verified that CCL18 was a direct target of miR-622. A specific and inverse correlation between miR-622 and CCL18 expression was found in human RCC samples.

conclusionsThe results demonstrated that miR-622 acted as a tumor-promoting miRNA by targeting CCL18 in RCC.
