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

purposeCervical cancer is the second leading cause of women's cancer-related death. MiR-940 has been reported as a critical factor in various cancers. Based on the high transfection efficiency and low side effect, the clinical application of microbubble ultrasound contrast agent in gene treatment has attracted a widespread attention. In this study, we determined the mechanism of miR-940 inhibiting cell proliferation and cycle procession, and promoting cell apoptosis in cervical cancer Hela cells. In addition, we compared the effects of different transfection methods, including liposome, microbubble, ultrasound, and microbubble coupled with ultrasound. PATIENTS AND

methodsMTT assay, PI staining, and Annexin-Ⅴ/PI staining assays were, respectively, performed to evaluate cell proliferation status, cell cycle progression, and apoptosis status. RT-PCR and Western blot were conducted to measure the levels of cell cycle- and apoptosis-related factors, and the phosphorylation levels of PI3K and Akt.

resultsResults showed that the overexpression of miR-940 inhibited cell proliferation, blocked cell cycle, and promoted apoptosis by regulating cell cycle-related factors (such as inhibited Cyclin D1 and CDK4) and apoptosis-related factors (such as promoted Puma and Bax, inhibited Bcl-2 and Cleaved caspase9), and inhibiting the phosphorylation and activation of PI3K/AKT pathway. Among all of them, miR-940 transfected with microbubble and ultrasound showed the greatest changes.

conclusionIt provides evidence that miR-940 could be a wonderful biomarker and treatment agent for cervical cancer, and microbubble ultrasound would have more wide application in the clinical treatment of cancers.
