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

Exosomes, carriers to transfer endogenous molecules, derived from bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have been reported to play a role in the progression of bladder cancer. Here we aimed to test the functional mechanism of microRNA-9-3p (miR-9-3p)-containing exosomes derived from BMSCs in bladder cancer. BMSCs were cocultured with bladder cancer cells, and exosomes secreted from BMSCs were identified. Next, the expression of miR-9-3p and endothelial cell-specific molecule 1 (ESM1) in bladder cancer tissues and cells was determined. Then effects of miR-9-3p and ESM1 via BMSC-derived exosomes on bladder cancer cell viability, migration, invasion, and apoptosis were determined by loss- and gain-of-function experiments and on in vivo tumor growth, and metastasis was assessed in nude mice. miR-9-3p expression was decreased and ESM1 was increased in bladder cancer. BMSCs inhibited bladder cancer cell viability, migration, and invasion, and induced apoptosis, whereas the addition of exosome secretion inhibitor GW4869 achieved the opposite effects. Moreover, exosomal miR-9-3p upregulation or ESM1 silencing suppressed bladder cancer cell viability, migration, and invasion; induced cell apoptosis; and inhibited in vivo tumor growth and metastasis. Taken together, BMSC-derived exosomal miR-9-3p suppressed the progression of bladder cancer through ESM1 downregulation, offering a potential novel therapeutic target for bladder cancer therapy.
