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

5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is a chemotherapeutic agent commonly used to treat esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), but acquisition of chemoresistance frequently occurs and the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. We found that microRNA (miR)-338-5p was underexpressed in ESCC cells with acquired 5-FU chemoresistance. Forced expression of miR-338-5p in these cells resulted in downregulation of Id-1, and restoration of both in vitro and in vivo sensitivity to 5-FU treatment. The effects were abolished by reexpression of Id-1. In contrast, miR-338-5p knockdown induced 5-FU resistance in chemosensitive esophageal cell lines, and knockdown of both miR-338-5p and Id-1 resensitized the cells to 5-FU. In addition, miR-338-5p had suppressive effects on migration and invasion of ESCC cells. Luciferase reporter assay confirmed a direct interaction between miR-338-5p and the 3'-UTR of Id-1. We also found that miR-338-5p was significantly downregulated in tumor tissue and serum samples of patients with ESCC. Notably, low serum miR-338-5p expression level was associated with poorer survival and poor response to 5-FU/cisplatin-based neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. In summary, we found that miR-338-5p can modulate 5-FU chemoresistance and inhibit invasion-related functions in ESCC by negatively regulating Id-1, and that serum miR-338-5p could be a novel noninvasive prognostic and predictive biomarker in ESCC.
