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

backgroundmiR-429 and TLN1 have been shown to affect the biological behaviours of many carcinomas. However, their effects in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) are not yet clear. Here, we investigated their regulatory relationships and effects on NPC cells.

methodsTargetScan was used to predict the regulatory relationships of miR-429 and TLN1 in NPC cells. Then, Western blotting and quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) were performed to examine TLN1 levels, and qPCR was used to determine miR-429 levels in NPC cell lines with different metastatic characteristics (5-8F, CNE-2, CNE-1, 6-10B and NP69), to investigate whether TLN1 and miR-429 are correlated with the metastatic characteristics of these cells. Next, we upregulated or downregulated miR-429 in 5-8F and 6-10B cells, which have different tumourigenicity and transferability, and examined TLN1 expression by western blotting and qPCR after transfection. QPCR was also performed to confirm successful transfection of miR-429 mimic into 5-8F and 6-10B cells. Dual luciferase reporter gene assay was performed to investigate whether miR-429 regulates TLN1 by binding to its 3'UTR. After transfection, Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8) and IncuCyte were used to examine the proliferation of these cells, and wound-healing assay, Transwell migration assay, and invasion assays were performed to investigate the changes in migration and invasion after transfection.

resultsWestern blotting and qPCR analyses showed that the protein level of TLN1 was negatively correlated with miR-429 in NPC cell lines (

conclusionThis study showed that miR-429 functions as a tumour suppressor in NPC by downregulation of TLN1, although the relationship is not direct.
