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

MicroRNA-466 was recently characterized as a tumor suppressor with known biological function in prostate cancer. The aim of the current study was to investigate the possible involvement of microRNA-466 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The current study demonstrated that the expression level of microRNA-466 was significantly downregulated; while the mRNA expression level of Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase 2 (ROCK2) was significantly upregulated in tumor tissue compared with adjacent healthy tissue samples obtained from patients with HCC. In addition, the relative plasma level of microRNA-466 was significantly decreased, while the relative plasma level of ROCK2 was significantly increased in patients with HCC compared with healthy controls. Expression levels of microRNA-466 and ROCK2 were inversely correlated in tumor tissue but not in adjacent healthy tissue samples obtained from patients with HCC. Plasma levels of microRNA-466 and ROCK2 were inversely correlated in patients with HCC but not in healthy controls. In addition, reduced plasma levels of microRNA-466 may have a diagnostic value in the detection of early stage HCC. MicroRNA-466 overexpression significantly suppressed ROCK2 expression in HCC cells, whereas ROCK2 overexpression did not significantly affect microRNA-466 expression. MicroRNA-466 overexpression significantly suppressed, while ROCK2 overexpression significantly enhanced HCC cell migration and invasion. In addition, ROCK2 overexpression partially reversed the inhibitory effect of microRNA-466 overexpression on HCC cell migration and invasion. Taken together, these results suggest that microRNA-466 may inhibit HCC cell migration and invasion by indirectly mediating the downregulation of ROCK2.
