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

backgroundColon cancer, or colorectal cancer (CRC), is a type of cancer that develops from large bowel. Previous data has demonstrated that microRNAs (miRNAs) may be involved in the formation and progression of CRC. The deregulation of miR-708 has been identified in multiple types of cancer. However, to the best of our knowledge, there are no data concerning the expression and role of miR-708 in CRC.

methodsIn this study, RT-PCR and Flow Cytometry were used to examine the expression and role of miR-708 and ZEB1 in proliferation and apoptosis. Transwell was used to examine the role of miR-708 and ZEB1 in invasion and migration. Western blot and qRT-PCR were conducted to determine the alteration of protein and miR-708 levels, respectively.

resultsMiR-708 was significantly downregulated in CRC tissues and cell lines. The restoration of the expression of miR-708 suppressed cell proliferation, induced apoptosis, and reduced metastasis in CRC

conclusionTaken together, these results indicate that miR-708 plays an important role in suppressing the development of CRC by directly targeting ZEB1 through AKT/mTOR signaling pathway, suggesting that miR-708 is a novel, effective therapeutic target for treating patients with CRC.
