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 (miRNAs) are endogenous, small non-coding RNAs that play important roles in multiple biological processes. Here, we show that miRNAs play an important function in the down-regulation of FAS expression in Ewing's sarcoma (ES) cells.

methodsTo identify and characterize possible oncogenic factors in ES, we employed a microarray-based approach to profile the changes in the expression of miRNAs and their target mRNAs in five ES cell lines and human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs).

resultsMiRNA, miR-181c, was significantly up-regulated, whereas FAS receptor expression was significantly down-regulated in all tested ES cells compared with hMSCs. Introducing anti-miR-181c into ES cell lines resulted in an increased expression of FAS2. Additionally, anti-miR-181c prohibited cell growth and cell cycle progression in ES cells. Anti-miR-181c also promoted apoptosis in ES cells. Furthermore, the down-regulation of miR-181c in ES cells significantly suppressed tumor growth in vivo.

conclusionsThese results suggest that unregulated expression of miR-181c could contribute to ES by targeting FAS. Reduction of miR181c increased expression of FAS. This proves that retardation of cell cycle progression removes apoptosis resistance, thereby repressing the growth of Ewing sarcoma. Since FAS signaling is involved in regulation of apoptosis and tumor proliferation, our findings might contribute to new therapeutic targets for ES.
