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

The aim of the present study was to determine the function of microRNA-153 (miR-153) in the viability of nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) cells and determine the underlying molecular mechanism. The expression of miR-153 in patients with NPC was markedly decreased compared with that in paracarcinoma tissue. miR-153 upregulation observably decreased cell viability, induced apoptosis, increased caspase-3 and -9 activity, and increased the B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2)-associated X protein/Bcl-2 protein expression ratio in 13-9B cells. miR-153 upregulation also suppressed transforming growth factor-β
