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

Colorectal cancer is a common gastrointestinal cancer ranking in third place of all cancers. Downregulation of miR-148a has been observed in many tumors, and miR-148a was found to be an oncogene in colorectal cancer. The aim of our study was to investigate the molecular mechanisms by which miR-148a and ErbB3 proliferate and migrate in colorectal cancer. The expression of miR-148a and ErbB3 were measured by western blot analysis and RT-qPCR. MTT and transwell assays were performed to analyze the proliferative and migratory abilities. The dual luciferase reporter assay was employed to confirm miR-148a regulated the expression of ErbB3 in colorectal cancer. It was discovered that miR-148a was overexpressed while ErbB3 expression was low in colorectal cancer, and the mRNA level of miR-148a had a negative correlation with the expression of ErbB3. Upregulation of miR-148a suppressed the proliferation and migration in colorectal cancer cells. Furthermore, ErbB3 was identified as a direct target of miR-148a, which suppressed the proliferation and migration through directly binding to the 3'UTR of ErbB3 mRNA. This study established that miR-148a inhibited the proliferative and migratory abilities through mediating the expression of ErbB3. The newly identified miR-148a/ErbB3 axis provides novel insight into the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer, and represents a potential target for treatment of colorectal cancer.
