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

backgroundDespite the fact that miRNAs play pivotal roles in various human malignancies, their molecular mechanisms influencing RCC are poorly understood.

methodsThe expression of miRNAs from RCC and paired normal renal specimens was analysed by a combined computational and experimental approach using two published datasets and qRT-PCR assays. The functional role of these miRNAs was further identified by overexpression and inhibition assays in vivo and in vitro. Western blots, luciferase assays, and chromatin immunoprecipitation were performed to investigate the potential mechanisms of these miRNAs.

resultsBioinformatics analysis and qRT-PCR revealed that miR-532-5p was one of the most heavily downregulated miRNAs. Overexpression of miR-532-5p inhibited RCC cell proliferation, while knockdown of miR-532-5p promoted cell proliferation. Mechanistic analyses indicated that miR-532-5p directly targets KRAS and NAP1L1. Interestingly, ETS1 suppressed the transcription of miR-532-5p by directly binding a special region of its promoter. Moreover, high levels of ETS1, as an oncogene in RCC, were significantly associated with poor survival in a large cohort of RCC specimens.

conclusionsOur work presents a road map for the prediction and validation of a miR-532-5p/KRAS-NAP1L1/P-ERK/ETS1 axis feedback loop regulating cell proliferation, which could potentially provide better therapeutic avenues for treating RCC.
