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

purposeMicroRNA-761 (miR-761) has been reported to be deregulated in many types of human cancers and play important roles in cancer genesis and progression. However, the biological roles of miR-761 in osteosarcoma (OS) and the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown.

methodsThe expression of miR-761 in OS tissues and cell lines was analyzed using RT-qPCR. A series of gain-of-function tests were performed, and status of malignancy was evaluated on basis of proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis using different assays to determine the regulatory roles of miR-761 in OS cells in vivo and in vitro. Notably, the mechanisms underlying the action of miR-761 in the pathogenesis of OS were investigated using bioinformatic analysis, luciferase reporter assay, RT-qPCR and Western blotting.

resultsThe results showed that miR-761 expression was decreased in OS tissues and cell lines and is closely correlated with clinical stage and distant metastasis in OS patients. Patients with OS having low miR-761 expression showed worse prognosis compared to OS patients with high miR-761 expression. Restoring the miR-761 expression level decreased OS cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in vitro; promoted cell apoptosis in vitro; and impaired tumor growth in vivo. In addition, fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) was found as a direct target gene of miR-761 in OS cells. Furthermore, silencing FGFR1 expression stimulated the tumor-suppressing roles of miR-761 upregulation in OS cells, whereas the activity of miR-761 overexpression in OS cells was abolished by the restoration of FGFR1 expression. Moreover, restoration of miR-761 expression deactivated the PI3K/Akt pathway in vitro and in vivo.

conclusionThese results suggest that miR-761 plays anti-cancer roles in OS by directly targeting FGFR1 and deactivating the PI3K/Akt pathway. The newly identified miR-761/FGFR1/PI3K/Akt pathway partially illustrates the mechanism of OS pathogenesis and presents a novel candidate therapeutic target for antitumor therapy.
