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

MicroRNAs, which regulate mRNAs, operate through a variety of signaling pathways to participate in the development of colorectal cancer (CRC). In this study, we found that microRNA (miR)-143-3p expression was significantly lower in both CRC and liver metastatic CRC tissues from liver compared with normal colonic tissues. Functional assays showed that miR-143-3p inhibited CRC cell invasion and migration in vitro. Using a bioinformatics approach, we identified miR-143-3p target mRNAs. Among the candidate targets, only the expression of integrin alpha 6 (ITGA6) and ArfGAP with the SH3 domain and ankyrin repeat and PH domain 3 (ASAP3) were significantly reduced by miR-143-3p mimics as examined by western blot, and the metastasis potential of CRC cells was attenuated by endogenous ITGA6 and ASAP3 knockdown, determined by migration and invasion assays. Both ITGA6 and ASAP3 were upregulated in CRC tissues compared to normal tissues. Analysis of the relationship between clinicopathological features and ITGA6/ASAP3 protein expression in 200 patients with CRC showed a significant difference in positive ITGA6 expression between the early stage (I + II) and the advanced stage (III + IV), and ASAP3 expression levels positively correlated with metastasis in the lymph nodes. These results indicate that miR-143-3p acts as an anti-oncogene by downregulating ITGA6/ASAP3 protein expression and could offer new insight into potential therapeutic targets for CRC.
