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

backgroundExtracellular vesicles (EVs) are endogenous membrane vesicles with a diameter of 30-200 nm. It has been reported that hypoxic cancer cells can release numerous EVs to mediate multiple regional and systemic effects in the tumor microenvironment.

methodsIn this study, we used ultracentrifugation to extract EVs secreted by TE-13, an esophageal squamous carcinoma (ESCC) cell line during normoxia and hypoxia and performed high-throughput sequencing to detect exosomal miRNAs. Gene ontology (GO) and KEGG pathway analyses were used to reveal pathways potentially regulated by the miRNAs.

resultsA total of 10 810 miRNAs were detected; 50 were significantly upregulated and 34 were significantly downregulated under hypoxic environment. GO analysis identified enrichment of protein binding, regulation of transcription (DNA-templated), and membrane as molecular function, biological process, and cellular component, respectively. KEGG pathway analysis revealed cancer-associated pathways, phospholipase D signaling pathway, autophagy, focal adhesion and AGE-RAGE signaling as the key pathways. Further verification experiment from qRT-PCR indicated that miR-128-3p, miR-140-3p, miR-340-5p, miR-452-5p, miR-769-5p and miR-1304-p5 were significantly upregulated in EVs from hypoxia TE-13 cells while miR-340-5p was significantly upregulated in two other ESCC cells, ECA109 and TE-1.

conclusionThis study, for the first time reveals changes in the expression of exosomal miRNAs in hypoxic ESCC cells and these findings will act as a resource to study the hypoxic tumor microenvironment and ESCC EVs.
