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

It has been reported that MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play pivotal roles in the occurrence and progression of a variety of cancers. As reported, miR-4295 promotes cell growth and metastasis in a lot of cancers. Nonetheless, the role and molecular mechanism of miR-4295 in HNSCC still remain unknown. In this study, we discovered miR-4295 expression was significantly upregulated in HNSCC tissues and cell lines, which is also associated with the overall survival of patients. Additionally, suppression of miR-4295 significantly inhibited cell proliferation, migration and EMT process in HNSCC. Through Targetscan website, it was predicted that NPTX1 might be a direct target gene of miR-4295. Then, we verified that NPTX1 could directly interact with miR-4295 via luciferase reporter and RNA assays. What's more, we discovered that there was a significantly negative correlation between NPTX1 and miR-4295 expression. It was indicated by further investigation that the effect of miR-4295 suppression on cell proliferation, migration and EMT process in HNSCC can be restored by knockdown of NPTX1 at the same time. Our results suggested that miR-4295 promoted the progression of HNSCC via regulating NPTX1 expression and miR-4295/NPTX1 axis, which may be a new therapeutic strategy for HNSCC.
