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

purposeGlioma is identified as a broad category of brain and spinal cord tumors. MiR-32 is important in regulating the genesis of different cancers; however, the underlying mechanisms of miR-32 in glioma still largely unknown. This study aimed to elucidate pathobiological functions of miR-32 in glioma and verify its effect on the regulation of enhancer of zeste homolog 2.

methodsThe expression of miR-32 and enhancer of zeste homolog 2 was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot in glioma tissues and cells. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was used to examine the effects of miR-32 on human glioma cells proliferation. Transwell assay was used to examine cell metastasis, respectively. Two bioinformatics analysis software and luciferase reporter assay were chosen to confirm targeting association between miR-32 and enhancer of zeste homolog 2.

resultsMiR-32 was downregulated in glioma tissues and cells. Furthermore, enhancer of zeste homolog 2 expression was upregulated and negatively correlated with miR-32 in clinical tissues. Ectopic expression of miR-32 inhibited glioma cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 was identified as direct target gene of miR-32 in glioma. Overexpression of enhancer of zeste homolog 2 ablated the inhibitory effects of miR-32.

conclusionIn summary, our finding suggests that miR-32 acts an important role in inhibiting glioma cell proliferation and metastasis and suppresses the expression of ABCC4 by directly targeting its 3'-untranslated region. The miR-32/enhancer of zeste homolog 2 axis may provide new insights to the treatment for glioma.
