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

A role of microRNA-4262 (miR-4262) in the carcinogenesis of colon cancer remains undetermined. In this study, we studied the effects and mechanisms of miR-4262 to the colon cancer cell proliferation and apoptosis. We found that the levels of miR-4262 significantly down-regulated in colon cancer tissue, compared to the paired adjacent non-tumor colon tissue. The miR-4262 levels in colon cancer cell lines were significantly lower than those in control normal colon tissues. Transfection with the miR-4262 mimic decreased the cell proliferation and increased cell apoptosis in colon cancer cells, while transfection with the antisense of miR-4262 (as-miR-4262) increased cell proliferation and suppressed cell apoptosis in colon cancer cells. Bioinformatics analyses showed that GALNT4 was a potential target gene of miR-4262. The luciferase activities assay and Western blot verified that miR-4262 targeted GALNT4 mRNA to modulate its protein levels. When we treated cells with miR-4262 and GALN4 siRNA, the cell viability was significantly decreased. Together, our study suggests that aberrantly expressed miR-4262 may affect cell apoptosis and proliferation of human colon cancer cells via GALNT4, which appears to be a promising therapeutic target for colon cancer.
