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

backgroundRecent advances in cancer biology have uncovered critical roles for microRNAs in regulating tumor responses. This study is to elucidate the role of miR-424 in colorectal cancer development. MATERIALS AND

methodsmiR-424 expression was analyzed by qRT-PCR. The role of miR-424 was studied in cell lines and animal models. The downstream targets of miR-424 were determined by microarray analysis.

resultsWe found that miR-424 expression was downregulated in human colorectal cancer cell lines and patient biopsies. We demonstrated that miR-424 functioned as a tumor suppressor by suppressing colorectal cancer growth in vitro and in vivo and enhancing apoptosis. Using microarray screening, we subsequently presented evidence that miR-424 directly targeted the 3' untranslated regions of the AKT serine/threonine kinase 3 (AKT3) and phosphoserine aminotransferase 1 (PSAT1) mRNAs via luciferase assay. Furthermore, AKT3 or PSAT1 silencing partially recapitulated the effects of miR-424.

conclusionThis newly identified miR-424/AKT3-SAT1 axis may represent a novel therapeutic strategy for future treatment of colorectal cancer.
