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

backgroundMiRNAs was recognized as vital regulators involved in cancer development. Radioresistance remains a major obstacle for effective treatment of cancers. The mechanisms on the miRNA-mediated radioresistance of cancers are still poorly understood. The main subject of this study is to find new miRNA biomarker that regulates the radioresistance of esophageal cancer (EC).

methodsThe cumulative dose of radiation assays were used to screen the EC radioresistant cell lines. Wound-healing and invasion assays were used to characterize the properties of these cell lines. The following survival fraction experiments were performed to test the effects of miR-199a-3p and AK4 in the radioresistance of EC. In addition, we used the luciferase reporter assays to identify the putative underlying mechanism that relates to the miR-199a-3p regulated radio-resistance.

resultsWe found that the AK4 gene is one of the targets of miR-199a-3p, which promotes the radioresistance of EC cells. The following experiments by force reversal of the miR-199a-3p or AK4 levels confirmed the relationship of miR-199a-3p and AK4 with the radioresistance of EC cells. In addition, the activities of several signaling pathway were drastically altered by the forced changes of the miR-199a-3p level in EC cells.

conclusionTaken together, we found that miR-199a-3p can be potentially used as a biomarker for the EC radioresistance. Moreover, these results provides new insights into the mechanism on the radioresistance of EC cells, and also might guide the clinical therapy of EC.
