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

backgroundIncreasing evidence has revealed that the aberrant expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) plays vital roles in the development and progression of ovarian cancer. MiR-200a-3p was found to act as an oncogene in a variety of cancers, however, the expression and function of miR-200a-3p in ovarian cancer has not been characterized. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe expression of miR-200a-3p in ovarian cancer tissues and cell lines was detected by the RT-qPCR. The influence of miR-200a-3p on the growth of ovarian cancer cells was determined with the Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, colony formation and cell invasion assay. The binding of miR-200a-3p with the 3'-untranslated region (UTR) of PDCH9 was detected by luciferase reporter assay. The expression of PCDH9 was investigated by RT-qPCR and Western blot analysis.

resultsmiR-200a-3p was up-regulated in ovarian cancer tissues and cell lines. Highly expressed miR-200a-3p was significantly associated with the tumor size, tumor metastasis and TNM stage. Overexpression of miR-200a-3p markedly promoted the proliferation, colony formation and invasion of ovarian cancer cells. Functional study uncovered that miR-200a-3p bound the 3'-untranslated region (UTR) of PCDH9 and decreased the expression of PCDH9 in ovarian cancer cells. The expression of miR-200a-3p in ovarian cancer tissues was significantly negatively correlated with that of PCDH9. Restored PCDH9 inhibited the promoting effect of miR-200a-3p on the proliferation of ovarian cancer cells.

conclusionOur results suggested the potential oncogenic function of miR-200a-3p via modulating PCDH9 in ovarian cancer.
