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

This study was designed to investigate the mechanism by which miR-129-5p affects the biological function of liver cancer cells. The expression levels of miR-129-5p in liver cancer tissues and cells were, respectively, determined. Crystal violet staining and flow cytometry were used to detect cell proliferation and apoptosis. Wound healing assay and transwell assay were performed to test cell migration and invasion. The target gene of miR-129-5p was analyzed and verified by bioinformatics analysis and luciferase reporter assay. Tumorigenicity assays in nude mice were used to test the antitumor ability of calcium calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IV (CAMK4). miR-129-5p was found to be underexpressed in hepatocellular cancer tissues and cells and also to inhibit liver cells proliferation, migration, and invasion and promote apoptosis. CAMK4 was a direct target for miR-129-5p and was lowly expressed in liver cancer tissues and cells. CAMK4 was also found to inhibit liver cells proliferation, migration and invasion, and promote apoptosis. CAMK4 might exert an antitumor effect by inhibiting the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). MiR-129-5p was a tumor suppressor with low expression in liver cancer tissues and cells. CAMK4, which is a direct target gene of miR-129-5p, could inhibit tumor by inhibiting the activation of MAPK signaling pathway.
