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 can act as both tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes and participate in cell proliferation, metastasis, and apoptosis. Low levels of miR-577 are found in several cancers, for example, thyroid carcinoma, glioblastoma, and hepatocellular carcinoma. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of miR-577 on breast cancer (BC).

methodsThe relative level of miR-577 in 120 BC tissues and cells was detected by real-time PCR. MDA-MB-231 cells with upregulated miR-577 and MCF-7 cells with downregulated miR-577 were established. Transwell invasion assays were used to examine the invasiveness of cells. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers were evaluated by immunofluorescence and Western blot. Targeted combinations of miR-577 and Rab25 were analyzed by luciferase assays. Xenograft models were used to examine the effect of miR-577 on BC metastasis.

resultsMiR-577 expression was significantly suppressed in BC tissues. Tumor size, tumor stage, and lymphatic metastasis were attributed to miR-577 expression. Moreover, miR-577 overexpression strongly inhibited the invasiveness and EMT of BC cells in vitro. MiR-577 directly regulated Rab25 in BC. Rab25 upregulation by miR-577 decreased the levels of E-cadherin and increased the levels of Vimentin. Notably, Rab25 knockdown inhibited BC invasion; however, an increase in Rab25 counteracted the invasive effect of miR-577 in BC.

conclusionResults indicated that miR-577 suppressed EMT by inhibiting Rab25 expression in BC. MiR-577 and Rab25 are considered potential targets of BC treatment.
