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

Although Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is known to encode over 40 different miRNAs of its own, the roles of most EBV miRNAs remain unknown. Disabled homolog 2 (DAB2) is a putative tumor suppressor, but its role in gastric carcinoma (GC), especially in EBV-associated GC, needs to be clarified. Our qRT-PCR and mRNA microarray results showed that DAB2 expression was down-regulated in EBV-positive GC cells compared to EBV-negative cells. Four BART miRNAs that might target DAB2 were predicted, and we found, using a luciferase reporter assay, that miR-BART1-3p directly targeted the 3'-UTR of DAB2. The miR-BART1-3p transfection decreased DAB2 expression at both mRNA and protein levels, while transfection of an inhibitor of miR-BART1-3p, miR-BART1-3p(i), increased DAB2 expression. In addition, miR-BART1-3p as well as siDAB2 increased migration and decreased apoptosis. Meanwhile, miR-BART1-3p(i) or pcDNA3.1-DAB2 transfection decreased migration and increased apoptosis in EBV-infected GC cells. Furthermore, decreased migration by miR-BART1-3p(i) was abrogated by co-transfected siDAB2, while decreased migration by miR-BART1-3p(i) was further suppressed by a co-transfected DAB2 over-expression vector. Our data suggest that miR-BART1-3p plays an important role in the tumorigenesis of EBV-associated GC by directly targeting DAB2.
