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

backgroundIncreasing evidence indicates that the dysregulation of miRNAs plays a vital role in tumorigenesis and progression of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Thus, it is necessary to further investigate the function and mechanism of miRNAs in NPC.

methodsmiR-100 expression was analyzed using publicly available databases and then tested using quantitative RT-PCR in NPC tissues and cell lines. MTT and colony formation assays and xenograft tumor model were used to test the NPC cell growth and proliferation abilities while modulating miR-100 expression. The target of miR-100 was predicted with TargetScan and validated with luciferase reporter assay, quantitative RT-PCR, and Western blot.

resultsThe expression of miR-100 was significantly reduced in NPC tissues and cell lines. Overexpression of miR-100 obviously suppressed NPC cell growth and proliferation, whereas silencing miR-100 promoted NPC cell growth and proliferation in vitro. HOXA1 (homeobox A1) was validated as a direct target of miR-100, and restoring HOXA1 expression could reverse the inhibitive effect of miR-100 on NPC cell growth and proliferation. The mRNA and protein expression of HOXA1 was increased in NPC cell lines. Furthermore, ectopic expression of miR-100 inhibited xenograft tumor growth in vivo.

conclusionTaken together, our findings suggest that miR-100 could suppress NPC growth and proliferation through targeting HOXA1, providing a novel target for the miRNA-mediated therapy for patients with NPC in the future.
