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

Aberrant expression of microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) mediates the initiation and progression of breast cancer. Therefore, it is important to investigate the molecular mechanisms of miRNAs and their effects on breast cancer progression. In the present study, miR-532-5p was highly expressed in breast cancer tissues compared with normal tissues. In addition, expression of ras-related and estrogen-regulated growth inhibitor (RERG), a tumor suppressor in breast cancer, was negatively correlated with miR-532-5p expression. Inhibition of miR-532-5p significantly elevated RERG at both mRNA and protein levels and inactivated the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/ERK signaling pathway. Overexpression of miR-532-5p decreased RERG expression and activated the MAPK/ERK signaling in breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231. Bioinformatic analysis indicated that RERG 3'-untraslated region contained a putative binding site for miR-532-5p. Dual luciferase assay further validated RERG as a target gene of miR-532-5p. Notably, downregulation of miR-532-5p inhibited MDA-MB-231 cell proliferation and migration, which was partially attenuated upon RERG knockdown. In conclusion, the current study revealed an oncogenic role of miR-532-5p in breast cancer cells via direct targeting of RERG expression.
