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

The aberrant expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) has been found in various types of cancer and is associated with tumorigenesis and metastasis. However, the expression and function of miR-223 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) remain unclear. The present study demonstrated that miR-223 was downregulated in NPC cell lines. The ectopic expression of miR-223 dramatically suppressed cell proliferation, invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Moreover, a luciferase reporter assay identified the structure-specific recognition protein (SSRP1) as a novel direct target of miR-223. SSRP1 expression was upregulated in NPC cell lines and the overexpression of miR-233 markedly reduced the expression of SSRP1. Furthermore, SSRP1 was involved in miR-223-regulated NPC cell proliferation, invasion, and EMT. Taken together, these results indicate that miR-223 functions as a tumor suppressor miRNA in NPC and that its suppressive effects are primarily mediated by repressing SSRP1 expression and inhibiting EMT.
