Effects of let-7c on the proliferation of ovarian carcinoma cells by targeted regulation of CDC25a gene expression.

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.
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 serve a role in the development of ovarian cancer (OC). The present study investigated whether let-7c is able to regulate the proliferation of OC cells by targeting cell division cycle 25A (CDC25a). The reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction was performed to detect the expression of let-7c in OC specimens. Let-7c agomir was transfected into OC cells, and the proliferation and apoptosis of OC cells were detected. A dual-luciferase assay and western blotting were performed to analyze whether CDC25a was the target gene of let-7c as well as its interaction site. The results revealed that, in OC tissue, let-7c was downregulated when compared with normal ovarian tissue. A Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8) assay, colony formation assay and flow cytometry demonstrated that increased expression of let-7c was able to inhibit the proliferation and increase the apoptosis of OC cells. Western blotting revealed that upregulated let-7c is able to decrease the expression of CDC25a, and a dual-luciferase assay and a recovery assay demonstrated that let-7c was able to regulate the expression of the 3' untranslated region of CDC25a. Therefore, the roles of let-7c in inhibiting the proliferation and promoting the apoptosis of OC cells may be realized through the regulation of the expression of CDC25a. The results of the present study revealed that let-7c may be a novel target in the diagnosis and treatment of OC.
