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

Increased evidence reveals that miR-940 inhibits the migration and invasion of cancer cells. Considering transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) signaling is crucial to cellular epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process and metastasis of cancer, it is in urgent to explore whether and how miR-940 plays an essential role in regulating TGF-β-induced EMT in lung cancer progression. In the present study, we observed a reciprocal expression with down-regulated miR-940 and up-regulated Snail mRNA in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissues. we further found that the expression of miR-940 was decreased in NSCLC tissues with lymph node metastasis, advanced TNM stages and poor cell differentiation, in which, on the contrary, the expression of Snail was increased. Overexpression of miR-940 significantly inhibited Snail mRNA and protein expression in A549 and H226 cells. Mechanistically, Snail mRNA was identified as target of miR-940. In addition, miR-940 repressed TGF-β-induced EMT and further hampered the cell migration and invasion. Finally, siRNA-mediated knockdown of Snail copied the phenotype of miR-940 overexpression in A549 and H226 cells. Taken together, our study reveals that miR-940 can suppress TGF-β-induced EMT and cell invasion by targeting Snail 3'-UTR mRNA in NSCLC.
