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

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), which arises from the nasopharynx epithelium, is most common in Southeast Asia, particularly in Southern China. To date, a variety of microRNAs have been demonstrated to serve key functions in the progression and development of NPC. microRNA-425 (miR-425) has previously been reported to be frequently abnormally expressed in a number of different types of human cancer, including lung, gastric, cervical, breast and prostate cancer. However, to the best of our knowledge, the expression patterns, functions and underlying mechanisms of miR-425 in NPC remain largely unexplored. In the present study, the expression of miR-425 was revealed to be low in NPC tissues and cell line. Resumption of miR-425 expression suppressed cell viability and invasion in NPC. Hepatoma-derived growth factor (HDGF) was identified as a direct target gene of miR-425 in NPC. HDGF was highly expressed at mRNA and protein levels in NPC tissues. Additionally, HDGF mRNA was negatively correlated with miR-425 expression in NPC tissues. Furthermore, overexpression of HDGF almost completely rescued the tumor-suppressing effects of miR-425 on NPC cell viability and invasion. Taken together, these results demonstrated that miR-425 acted as a tumor suppressor in NPC by targeting HDGF, suggesting that it may be a novel therapeutic target for the treatments of patients with NPC.
