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

Accumulated evidence indicates that aberrant microRNAs (miRNAs) expression plays an important role in the initiation and progression of various cancers, including breast cancer. Previous studies suggested that miR‑139‑3p might serve as a tumor suppressor and is downregulated in several cancer types. However, the expression patterns and exact role of miR‑139‑3p in breast cancer remain to be elucidated. In this study, we aimed to analyze the effect of miR‑139‑3p on the progression of breast cancer and the mechanism involved. Through bioinformatics analysis and in vitro experimental studies, we found that miR‑139‑3p was decreased in breast cancer tissues and cell lines, and decreased miR‑139‑3p is associated with a poor prognosis in breast cancer patients. Overexpression of miR‑139‑3p by transfection significantly inhibits cell proliferation, migration, and invasion of breast cancer cells. Bioinformatics analysis and luciferase reporter gene assay confirmed that RAB1A was a potential target of miR‑139‑3p. Furthermore, overexpression of RAB1A counteracted the suppressing effects of miR‑139‑3p on breast cancer cell migration, invasion and epithelial‑to‑mesenchymal transition (EMT). Taken together, these data suggest that miR‑139‑3p plays a tumor suppressive role in breast cancer by targeting RAB1A and may serve as a potential new biomarker for breast cancer prognosis.
