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

Malignant melanoma (MM) is the most aggressive form of skin cancer originating from melanocytes with increased proliferative and metastatic ability. Previous studies have revealed that microRNA-338-3p (miR-338-3p) functions as a tumor suppressor in several types of cancer, including cervical cancer, renal cell carcinoma and thyroid cancer. However, the function and mechanism underlying the action of miR-383-3p in MM remain unclear. In the study, aberrant downregulation of miR-338-3p was observed in 60 pairs of MM and adjacent non-tumor tissue using quantitative polymerase chain reaction assay. Decreased miR-383-3p expression was associated with advanced clinical stage (P<0.05) and lymph node metastasis (P<0.001). The overexpression of miR-338-3p in A375 and G361 cells suppressed cell proliferation and migration using MTT, colony formation, wound healing and transwell assays. Mechanistically, MACC1 was identified as a direct target for miR-338-3p using bioinformatics prediction and dual-luciferase assays. Furthermore, MACC1 expression was significantly increased and inversely correlated with the levels of miR-338-3p in MM tissues. More importantly, restoration of MACC1 resulted in reversed the inhibitory effects of miR-338-3p overexpression on MM cells by altering the expression levels of PCNA and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-associated proteins. These results suggest that miR-338-3p functions as a novel tumor suppressor, at least in part, via targeting MACC1 and suggest that miR-338-3p may serve as a potential target for treatment of MM patients.
