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

miR-944 is a microRNA that has been reported to play different important roles in the progression of cancer. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common cancer worldwide. A recent study has confirmed that miR-944 plays a tumour suppressive role in CRC. However, biological functions and the mechanism of miR-944 in CRC are poorly understood. Real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction of 100 CRC tissues showed that miR-944 expression is frequently downregulated and is negatively associated with the T is the primary tumor, N is the lymph node, and M is the distant metastasis (TNM) stage (P = 0.009), depth of invasion (P = 0.001), and lymph node status (P = 0.002). Overexpression of mir-944 significantly impaired the functions of proliferation, migration and invasion in CRC cells, while these functions increased in knockdown experiments. GATA binding protein 6 (GATA6) knockdown can reverse the CRC cells functions induced by miR-944 inhibitor. Mechanistically, a Dual-Luciferase Reporter Assay showed that miR-944 is structurally combined with GATA6 and interacts with downstream proteins (CRT and p-AKT) in CRC cells. In conclusion, these findings indicated that miR-944 may be a tumour suppressor and could likely be used as a prognostic predictor and novel therapeutic target for CRC.
