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

backgroundHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cause of death from malignant tumors worldwide. More than 50% of HCC cases occur in China. The prognosis remains poor and overall efficacy is still unsatisfactory. Chemotherapy resistance is the most important reason for the poor outcome. Much progress has been made in the study of chemotherapy resistance of HCC; however, the specific mechanisms of progression of HCC have still only been partially established. Therefore, the mechanism of chemotherapy resistance in HCC requires more research.

aimTo investigate the effect of miR-34a expression on the growth inhibition of HepG2 cells by doxorubicin.

methodsA recombinant lentiviral vector containing miR-34a was constructed and transfected into HepG2 cells. The expression of miR-34a was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (commonly known as RT-PCR) before and after transfection. Cells were exposed to 2 μM doxorubicin or phosphate-buffered saline before and after transfection. Cell viability in each group was detected by MTT assay, and cell cycle and apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry. Changes in expression levels of phospho (p)-p53, sirtuin (SIRT) 1, cyclin D1, cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4, CDK6, BCL-2, multidrug resistance protein (MDR) 1/P glycoprotein (P-gp), and AXL were detected by Western blotting.

resultsRecombinant lentiviral vector LV-hsa-mir-34a was successfully constructed by restriction endonuclease digestion and sequencing. RT-PCR showed that expression of miR-34a in HepG2 cells was significantly upregulated after transfection (

conclusionMiR-34a may enhance the inhibitory effect of doxorubicin by downregulating MDR1/P-gp and AXL, which may be related to p53 expression.
