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

purposeDysregulation of miRNAs plays an important role in the malignancy of different tumors including chordoma. Expression of miR-149-3p was earlier reported to be downregulated in chordoma tissue. However, its biological role remains to be unrevealed in chordoma, especially in spinal chordoma.

methodsExpression of miR-149-3p and Smad3 was detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot. Chordoma malignancy was evaluated by cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis using MTT assay, transwell assay, flow cytometry analyzing apoptosis rate, and Western blot-determined expression of Bcl-2, Bax, and cleaved caspase 3, respectively. The target binding between miR-149-3p and Smad3 was predicted by TargetScan Human website and confirmed by luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecipitation. Xenograft tumors were generated, and expression of miR-149-3p and Smad3 was investigated in vivo.

resultsmiR-149-3p was downregulated in spinal chordoma tissues and cells, and its overexpression promoted chordoma cell apoptosis and inhibited proliferation, migration, and invasion in U-CH1 and MUG-Chor1 cells. Unexpectedly, Smad3 was a downstream target of miR-149-3p and negatively correlated with miR-149-3p expression in chordoma tissues. Besides, Smad3 was upregulated in chordoma tissues and its silencing had a similar effect as miR-149-3p overexpression in U-CH1 and MUG-Chor1 cells. Moreover, Smad3 upregulation could partially reverse the tumor-suppressive effect of miR-149-3p in chordoma cells. In vivo, the tumorigenesis of U-CH1 and MUG-Chor1 cells was impaired by upregulated miR-149-3p through decreasing Smad3 expression.

conclusionmiR-149-3p could serve as a tumor suppressor in spinal chordoma through targeting and downregulating Smad3.
