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

Increasing evidence has indicated that microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) are associated with tumorigenesis and the development of numerous cancer types. Previous studies have suggested miRNA-491-5p is downregulated in osteosarcoma (OS) and functions as a tumor suppressor. However, the biological roles and underlying mechanisms associated with miR-491-5p function in OS require further exploration. In the present study, it was demonstrated by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) that miR-491-5p was downregulated in 36 pairs of OS tissues, compared with in adjacent normal bone tissues. Furthermore, CCK-8 and colony formation assays indicated that miR-491-5p mimics suppressed OS cell proliferation. However, an miR-491-5p inhibitor enhanced cell proliferation. In addition, luciferase reporter assays, RT-qPCR and western blot analysis demonstrated that PKM2 was a direct target of miR-491-5p. The miR-491-5p mimic inhibited the mRNA and protein expression of PKM2, while the miR-491-5p inhibitor promoted PKM2 mRNA and protein expression. In addition, PKM2 overexpression reversed the proliferation-inhibiting effects of miR-491-5p in OS cells. Therefore, these results indicated that miR-491-5p serves as a tumor suppressor in OS cells, which may be important in OS treatment.
