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

Maspin has been identified as a tumor suppressor gene in breast cancer, but the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain unclear. In the present study, maspin pcDNA was transfected into MCF-7 cells. microRNA (miR) microarray and reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used for analysis; the results demonstrated that maspin may inhibit miR-10b, miR-21 and miR-451 expression in MCF-7 cells. In addition, maspin increased the expression of certain miR-21 target genes (phosphatase and tensin homolog, programmed cell death 4 and B-cell lymphoma-2), miR-10b target gene (Homeobox D10; HOXD10) and miR-451 target gene (multidrug resistance protein 1). Furthermore, the results of the present study revealed that decreased expression of miR-21 suppressed the invasion and proliferation of MCF-7 cells. Therefore, in the present study, it was hypothesized that as a tumor-suppressor gene, the potential molecular mechanism of maspin include down-regulating the expression of miR-21 and increasing the expression of specific miR-21 target genes.
