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

The miR-200 family suppresses epithelial-mesenchymal transition by inhibiting ZEB1 and ZEB2 mRNA translation in several types of cancers. Kindlin-2 is a target gene of miR-200b and its expression level correlates positively to ZEB2 in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Whether Kindlin-2 and ZEB2 share a competitive endogenous RNAs regulatory network in OSCC remains unclear. Here, we studied the expression levels of miR-200b, Kindlin-2, and ZEB2 and found direct interaction between miR-200b, ZEB2, and Kindlin-2 mRNA in OSCC. A series of experiments was performed to elucidate the role of miR-200b and Kindlin-2 in OSCC cells. To further investigate whether Kindlin-2 regulates ZEB2 as a "ceRNA", we utilized pools of siRNAs to deplete Kindlin-2 or ZEB2 in Tca-8113 cells. Significantly elevated expression levels of Kindlin-2 and ZEB2, down-regulated mRNA levels of miR-200b, and a positive correlation between Kindlin-2 and ZEB2 were found in OSCC cells. Additional results suggest that miR-200b directly targets ZEB2 and that Kindlin-2 3'UTR miR-200b repressed both the migration and invasive functionality of Tca-8113. Kindlin-2 and ZEB2 are involved in accelerated migration and invasion of Tca-113 cells
