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

backgroundMicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous, single-stranded, non-coding RNAs acting as negative regulators of gene expression involved in a number of physiological processes. MiRNAs' expression is commonly dysregulated in many types of human tumor diseases and cancers, including thyroid cancers, and is often involved in tumor initiation and progression. miR-19a, a member of miR-17-92 cluster, has been demonstrated to promote cell growth in anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC), the most advanced and aggressive thyroid cancer. PURPOSE: In this work, we investigate the potential contribution of miR-19a in thyroid cancer cells poor prognosis and de-differentiation.

methodsWe directly modulated the expression of miR-19a in papillary (PTC) and anaplastic thyroid carcinoma cell lines through transfection of specific miR-19a mimic or inhibitor. Further, we performed gene expression analysis of specific genes to evaluate miR-19a association with cell cycle, differentiation, and poor prognosis.

resultsOur data indicate that miR-19a overexpression in PTC cells significantly promotes cell growth, decreases the expression of differentiation genes and activates poor prognosis genes. Its inhibition in ATC cells reduces cell proliferation and the expression of genes related to poor prognosis but does not affect differentiation.

conclusionOur findings reveal the existence of functional associations between miR-19a expression and thyroid cancer progression and malignancy suggesting miR-19a as a novel candidate therapeutic target for ATC.
