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

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNA molecules, about 21-25 nucleotides in length. Accumulating evidence demonstrated that dysregulation or dysfunction of miRNAs are involved in various diseases, including cancer. MiR-143, recently has been reported to function as an important tumor suppressor in prostate cancer, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and other kinds of cancers, but rarely systematically studied in pituitary tumor. In the present study, we firstly found that miR-143 was significantly down-regulated in pituitary tumor tissues and cell lines (GH3 and MMQ). Then, subsequent studies revealed that miR-143 inhibits cell proliferation and promotes apoptosis in both GH3 and MMQ cells. In addition, K-Ras, one of the most important oncogenes involved in many kinds of cancers, was found to be suppressed by miR-143 in pituitary tumor. Furthermore, overexpression of K-Ras greatly reversed the suppressive effect of miR-143 on pituitary tumor cells. In summary, our study demonstrated that miR-143 functions as a tumor suppressor and directly targets K-Ras in human pituitary tumor.
