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

MicroRNA (miR)-106b serves an essential function in a variety of human cancer types, particularly in the process of invasion and metastasis. However, the function and mechanism of miR-106b in the invasion and metastasis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) has remained elusive. In the present study, it was demonstrated that miR-106b was upregulated in ESCC tissues and cell lines. Furthermore, miR-106b expression in ESCC tissues was positively associated with lymphatic metastasis. Inhibition of miR-106b in EC-1 and EC9706 cells decreased not only the invasion and metastasis ability but also the proliferation ability of EC-1 and EC9706 cells. In addition, miR-106b had the ability to induce epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in EC-1 and EC9706 cells. In terms of the underlying mechanism, it was revealed that miR-106b promoted the invasion, metastasis and proliferation ability of EC-1 and EC9706 cells by directly targeting phosphatase and tension homolog (PTEN). Furthermore, miR-106b induced EMT in EC-1 and EC9706 cells by suppressing the expression of PTEN. In summary, the present study revealed that miR-106b contributed to invasion and metastasis in ESCC by regulating PTEN mediated EMT. Downregulation of miR-106b may be a novel strategy for preventing tumor invasion and metastasis.
