MicroRNA-191 targets CCAAT/enhanced binding protein β and functions as an oncogenic molecule in human non-small cell lung carcinoma cells.

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.
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
The aberrant expression of microRNAs (miRs) may be involved in tumor growth and progression in human non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). The present study aimed to investigate the potential roles of miR-191 in NSCLC. Western blotting and reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction were performed to assess protein and/or mRNA levels. Scratch wound healing and transwell assays were performed to determine the NSCLC cell migration and invasion. A luciferase demonstrated that CCAAT/enhanced binding protein β (C/EBPβ) was a target of miR-191. Previously, miR-191 has been reported to act as an oncogenic player in multiple human cancers. C/EBPβ has been identified as a target gene of miR-191; however, the roles and underlying mechanisms of miR-191 associated with the regulation of tumor invasion in NSCLC remain unknown. In the present study, it was demonstrated that miR-191 expression levels were higher in human NSCLC tumors compared with in normal adjacent tissue and elevated miR-191 expression levels were closely associated with tumor node metastasis stage in patients with NSCLC. Furthermore, transfection with miR-191 mimic inhibited C/EBPβ expression at the mRNA and protein levels and promoted A549 cell migration and invasion. C/EBPβ was reported to be the direct target gene of miR-191 using a dual luciferase reporter assay. Finally, C/EBPβ siRNA can mimic the effects of miR-191. These findings indicated that miR-191 may function as an oncogene in NSCLC, at least partially due to its negative regulatory on C/EBPβ.
