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

An increasing number of studies have confirmed that miR-124 exhibits a suppressive role in glioblastoma, cervical cancer and breast cancer; however, the function of miR-124 in colorectal cancer (CRC) has not been completely elucidated. In the present study, miR-124 expression was confirmed by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR in 80 colorectal tissues and para-cancerous tissues. The influence of altered miR-124 expression was analyzed by statistical approaches including Cox multivariate regression analysis and the Kaplan-Meier method, and the target genes of miR-124 were confirmed by luciferase reporter assays. Immunohistochemical techniques were also performed in order to measure the expression levels of target proteins. miR-124 expression was observed to be decreased in colorectal tissue samples, and this phenomenon was correlated with adverse clinical indicators and poor patient survival time. Luciferase reporter assays indicated that miR-124 directly regulated TNF receptor associated factor 6 (TRAF6) 3'-untranslated region (UTR). Hence, it was proposed that miR-124 dysregulation may negatively influence the expression of TRAF6 and therefore serve as a biomarker of epithelial-mesenchymal transition in CRC tissues. In summary, the present study demonstrated that miR-124 regulates the expression of TRAF6, and may potentially function as an independent prognostic factor and therapeutic target in patients with CRC.
