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

backgroundAbnormal miR-27a-3p expression has been frequently reported in several types of human cancer and contributes to tumor progression. However, the role and potential molecular mechanism of miR-27a-3p in the progression of pancreatic carcinoma have not been clarified. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe expression of miR-27a-3p and GATA binding protein 6 (GATA6) in pancreatic carcinoma tissues and cell lines was evaluated by quantitative real-time PCR and Western blotting analysis. The relationship between clinical pathologic features and miR-27a-3p expression was analyzed with Chi-square test. The regulatory mechanism of miR-27a-3p on GATA6 was confirmed by luciferase reporter assay and bioinformatics analysis. The effects of miR-27a-3p by targeting GATA6 on cell angiogenesis and migration were assessed by capillary tube formation and wound healing assays.

resultsMiR-27a-3p expression was significantly upregulated in pancreatic carcinoma tissues and cell lines. Highly expressed miR-27a-3p was closely related to more lymph node metastasis, present peritoneal metastasis, and poor prognosis in patients with pancreatic carcinoma. MiR-27a-3p promoted migration and angiogenesis of pancreatic carcinoma cells by activating vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) expression. A significantly negative correlation between GATA6 mRNA and miR-27a-3 expression was found in pancreatic carcinoma samples. Modulation of miR-27a-3p could alter GATA6 expression in pancreatic carcinoma cells. GATA6 was identified as a functional target gene of miR-27a-3p, and GATA6 knockdown partially reversed the effects of miR-27a-3p siliencing on the migration and angiogenesis of pancreatic carcinoma cells by regulation of VEGFA/VEGFR2 pathway.

conclusionUpregulated miR-27a-3p indicates a poor prognosis in pancreatic carcinoma patients and promotes the angiogenesis and migration by epigenetic silencing of GATA6 and activating VEGFA/VEGFR2 signaling pathway, and indicating miR-27a-3p may be a promising therapeutic target for pancreatic carcinoma treatment.
