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

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide. This study aimed to elucidate the clinicopathological significance of miR-338-3p and its association with metastasis-associated in colon cancer-1 (MACC1) in CRC. We evaluated miR-338-3p and MACC1 expression in CRC cell lines and analyzed the clinicopathological features of miR-338-3p in 98 samples of CRC tissues. Subsequent Western blot and cellular biological techniques, and xenograft mouse models were performed to investigate the biological role of miR-338-3p and its association with MACC1 in CRC. Our results show that miR-338-3p expression is lower in CRC cell lines and tissues than that in a human normal colonic epithelial cell line and adjacent normal colorectal tissue, respectively. miR-338-3p expression was significantly associated with histological differentiation, UICC stage, T classification, N classification, and M classification in 98 samples of CRC. The overall survival of CRC patients was significantly less in the low miR-338-3p expression group than in the high miR-338-3p expression group (p<0.01). miR-338-3p mimics suppressed cell proliferation, colony formation, migration, and invasion, but induced apoptosis in CRC cells. miR-338-3p inhibitor reversed these biological phenotypes. miR-338-3p mimics or inhibitor suppressed or increased MACC1 expression in HCT116 and SW620. miR-338-3p mimics reversed the effect of increased MACC1 expression induced by HCT116 with MACC1 over-expression plasmid. Increased cell proliferation, colony formation, and suppressed cell apoptosis caused by MACC1 over-expression were significantly reversed in HCT116 transfected with miR-338-3p mimics, respectively. Suppressed cell proliferation, colony formation, migration, invasion, and increased cell apoptosis caused by MACC1 knockdown were significantly reversed in SW620 transfected with miR-338-3p inhibitor, respectively. In vivo, miR-338-3p agomir significantly inhibited xenograft CRC tumor growth and reversed the effect of increased xenograft tumor growth induced from HCT116 with MACC1 overexpression. In conclusion, our data suggest that miR-338-3p suppresses CRC carcinogenesis and progression by inhibiting MACC1. Targeting miR-338-3p might be a novel treatment strategy for CRC.
