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

Numerous studies have indicated an important function of microRNAs (miRs) in breast cancer (BC) progression, oncogenesis and metastasis. However, the function of miR-3677, which has been revealed to be upregulated in BC [The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data], has not been investigated to date. In the present study, miR-3677 was revealed to be upregulated in BC as determined using TCGA. miR-3677 was significantly upregulated in BC tissues and cell lines compared with those noted in adjacent non-cancerous tissues and primary normal breast cells (P<0.05). The overexpression of miR-3677 promoted the cell proliferation, migration and invasion of BC cells. Using bioinformatics algorithms and luciferase assays, a novel target gene for miR-3677, namely transducin-like enhancer of Split3 (TLE3), was identified. Silencing of TLE3 in miR-3677-transfected BC cells suppressed their proliferation and migration. An inverse correlation was observed between miR-3677 and TLE3 expression levels in human BC tissues. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that miR-3677 promoted BC cell proliferation, migration and invasion by inhibiting TLE3 expression, which provided a novel mechanism and a promising therapeutic target for patients with BC.
