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

MicroRNAs (miR) serve important roles in the development and progression of tumors by targeting different genes. miR-520a-3p reported in lung and breast cancers as a tumor suppressor gene. However, the expression and functional significance of miR-520a-3p is not completely understood in gastric cancer (GC). In the present study, it was demonstrated that the expression levels of miR-520a-3p were significantly downregulated in GC tissues and cells using RT-qPCR. In addition, downregulated expression of miR-520a-3p was associated with the clinical stage of the tumor and invasion in patients with GC. Furthermore, overexpression of miR-520a-3p significantly inhibited cell proliferation, invasion and migration in SGC-7901 and MGC-803 GC cell lines using proliferation, wound healing and cell invasion assays. Spindle and kinetochore associated 2 (SKA2) was upregulated in GC cells using western blot analysis and a target gene of miR-520a-3p; miR-520a-3p mimics significantly reduced SKA2 expression. In addition, upregulation of SKA2 protein expression SKA2 reversed the miR-520a-3p-mediated inhibition of SGC-7901 cell proliferation, migration and invasion. In conclusion, miR-520a-3p functioned as a tumor suppressor gene by targeting SKA2 in GC cell lines, and may serve as a novel prognostic and potential therapeutic marker.
