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 (miRNA/miRs) have the ability to target specific mRNAs, resulting in degradation of mRNA or inhibition of translation. Notably, miR-34a is able to regulate cell cycle and tumorigenicity. The level of miR-34a expression is usually low in tumors, and previous studies have indicated miR-34a to be an important tumor suppressor. In order to elucidate the association between miR-34a and metastasis, stable cell lines were established and transfected with miR-34a. Cell invasion assay was subsequently performed. The present study demonstrated that cell invasion was inhibited in cells that were transfected with miR-34a compared with the control group (P<0.05). Therefore, miR-34a was able to inhibit metastasis in liver cancer cells.
