MicroRNA-146b Overexpression Promotes Human Bladder Cancer Invasion via Enhancing ETS2-Mediated mmp2 mRNA Transcription.
Article in Molecular therapy. Nucleic acids, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers.
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.
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
Although microRNAs have been validated to play prominent roles in the occurrence and development of human bladder cancer (BC), alterations and function of many microRNAs (miRNAs) in bladder cancer invasion are not fully explored yet. miR-146b was reported to be a tumor suppressor or oncomiRNA in various types of cancer. However, its accurate expression, function, and mechanism in bladder cancer remain unclear. Here we discovered that miR-146b was frequently upregulated in bladder cancer tissues compared with adjacent non-cancerous tissues. Inhibition of miR-146b resulted in a significant inhibitory effect on the invasion of bladder cancer cells by reducing mmp2 mRNA transcription and protein expression. We further demonstrated that knockdown of miR-146b attenuated ETS2 expression, which was the transcription factor of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)2. Moreover, mechanistic studies revealed that miR-146b inhibition stabilized ARE/poly(U)-binding/degradation factor 1 (auf1) mRNA by directly binding to its mRNA 3' UTR, further reduced ets2 mRNA stability, and finally inhibited mmp2 transcription and attenuated bladder cancer invasion abilities. The identification of the miR-146b/AUF1/ETS2/MMP2 mechanism for promoting bladder cancer invasion provides significant insights into understanding the nature of bladder cancer metastasis. Targeting the pathway described here may be a novel approach for inhibiting invasion and metastasis of bladder cancer.
