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 (miRNAs/miRs), consisting of ~22 nucleotides of single-stranded RNA, participate in post-transcriptional gene regulation by binding to the 3'-untranslated region (UTR) of mRNAs, repressing their translation and promoting their degradation. Studies have shown that certain miRNAs play a key role in the control of various cellular activities, such as inhibiting inflammation, modulating cell differentiation and suppressing cancer growth. The role of miR-146a in the immune response and in the pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has also been investigated. Although some studies have shown that increased miR-146a levels are associated with HCC, others have revealed that miR-146a suppresses cancer cell proliferation, invasion and metastasis. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling has an important role in regulating innate and adaptive immune responses. In addition, TLR4 is functionally expressed in HCC cells and promotes HCC cell proliferation, which can be regulated by miR-146a. The present review focuses on the recent progress in analyzing the multiple roles of miR-146a in mediating the TLR4 pathway and adaptive immune response. Finally, the function of miR-146a in the pathogenesis of HCC is also discussed.
