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

MicroRNAs (miRNA/miRs) are small, non-coding RNA molecules (19-25 nucleotides in length), which function to regulate gene expression. It has been reported that miR-128 serves an important role in regulating cancer cell growth; increasing evidence has indicated that the expression of miR-128 is decreased in pancreatic cancer (PC) cells. However, the specific mechanisms of miR-128 in regulating PC cell growth are unclear. In the present study, it was confirmed that the expression of miR-128 was significantly decreased within PC tissues compared with adjacent normal tissues via reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis. In addition, miR-128 mimics inhibited PC MIA-PaCa2 cell growth by enhancing cell apoptosis in a caspase-dependent manner. Furthermore, the results of the present study demonstrated that double minute 4 (MDM4) may be a direct target for miR-128 via a dual luciferase report assay; miR-128 may inhibit MDM4 expression, and increase p53 and cleaved caspase-3 protein expression levels. In summary, the present study indicated that miR-128 is downregulated in PC, and it may be a promising target for future PC diagnosis and treatment.
