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

Several studies have shown that miR-215-5p acts as a tumor suppressor in certain cancers, but its role in the progression and metastasis of breast carcinoma remains incompletely understood. Herein, we prove that miR-215-5p is substantially down-expressed in breast carcinoma as compared with nontumor tissue. Up-regulation of miR-215-5p inhibits the aggressive abilities of breast carcinoma cells in vitro. We performed luciferase reporter tests to show that SRY-Box 9 (Sox9) is the target of miR-215-5p; as predicted, Sox9 depletion replicates the suppressive effects of miR-215-5p on breast carcinoma cells, and overexpression of Sox9 rescues the effects of miR-215-5p on breast cancer cell progression. In addition, a xenograft model assay was used to reveal that miR-215-5p inhibits breast cancer cell growth and metastatic potential in vivo. Overall, these results imply that miRNA-215-5p suppresses the aggressiveness of breast cancer cells through targeting Sox9.
