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

Radioresistant cervical cancer is likely to give rise to local recurrence, distant metastatic relapse, and decreased survival rates. Recent studies revealed microRNA mediated regulation of tumor aggressiveness and metastasis; however, whether specific microRNAs regulate tumor radioresistance and can be exploited as radiosensitizing agents remains unclear. Here, we find that miR-29b could promote radiosensitivity in radioresistant subpopulations of cervical cancer cells. Notably, therapeutic delivery of miR-29b mimics via R11-SSPEI nanoparticle, whose specificity has been proved by our previous studies, can sensitize the tumor to radiation in a xenograft model. Mechanistically, we reveal a novel function of miR-29b in regulating intracellular reactive oxygen species signaling and explore a potential application for its use in combination with therapies known to increase oxidative stress such as radiation. Moreover, miR-29b inhibits DNA damage repair by targeting phosphate and tension homology deleted on chromsome ten (PTEN), and overexpression of PTEN could partially rescue miR-29b-mediated homologous recombination (HR)-DNA damage repair and increase radiosensitivity. These findings identify miR-29b as a radiosensitizing microRNA and reveal a new therapeutic strategy for radioresistant tumors.
