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

Osteosarcoma (OS) mortality rate is increasing. Various microRNAs (miRNAs) have been investigated in the pathological process of OS except for miR-744. Hence, this research was designed to explore miR-744 function in OS. RT-qPCR and western blot analysis were used to quantify miR-744 and large tumor suppressor kinase 2 (LATS2) expression levels. The function of miR-744 was investigated using MTT and Transwell assays. Target gene of miR-744 was verified by dual-luciferase reporter assay. miR-744 expression was increased in OS, which was associated with worse clinical features and prognosis of OS patients. Importantly, miR-744 promoted cell viability and metastasis in OS. Furthermore, miR-744 induced Wnt/β-catenin pathway and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in OS. In addition, miR-744 directly targeted LATS2 and blocked its expression in OS. Moreover, upregulation of LATS2 weakened the promotion of cell viability and metastasis induced by miR-744 in OS. In conclusion, miR-744 accelerated OS progression through restraining LATS2 and activating Wnt/β-catenin pathway and EMT.
