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

Breast cancer has become an important public health problem. Moreover, the functions of microRNA-431 (miR-431) have been detected in human cancers other than breast cancer. Hence, we investigated the role of miR-431 in progression of breast cancer. RT-qPCR and Western blot analysis were performed to assess expression of miR-431 and genes. The regulatory mechanism of miR-431 was investigated using MTT, Transwell and luciferase reporter assay. Decreased miR-431 expression was identified in breast cancer, which was related to aggressive behavior. Furthermore, miR-431 restrained cell proliferation, metastasis and EMT in breast cancer. miR-431 induced apoptosis through enhancing Bax expression. In addition, miR-431 was found to directly target FGF9. Moreover, upregulation of FGF9 impaired the anti-tumor effect of miR-431 in breast cancer. miR-431 restrained cell viability and metastasis in breast cancer through targeting FGF9, indicating that miR-431 serves as a tumor inhibitor in breast cancer.
