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

Short noncoding endogenous RNAs, including microRNAs (miRNAs), are associated with the development and metastasis of multiple cancers. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), the most active and abundant polyphenol in green tea, plays a crucial role in the modulation of miRNA expression, which is related to changes in cancer progression. In the present study, we explore whether EGCG exerts its suppressive effects on nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cells through miRNA regulation. The anoikis-resistant sphere-forming NPC cells grown under anchorage-independent conditions exhibit enhanced migratory properties, which were inhibited by EGCG treatment. The miR-296 level was lower in the anoikis-resistant cells than in the monolayer parental cells; however, miR-296 was significantly upregulated after EGCG treatment. We demonstrate that miR-296 is involved in the inhibitory effects of EGCG on the anoikis-resistant NPC cells through the downregulation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) activation. Our study is the first to demonstrate that EGCG inhibited the migratory properties of anoikis-resistant cells by modulating the expression of miRNA in NPC cells. Our results indicate the novel effects of EGCG on miRNA regulation to inhibit an invasive phenotype of NPC as well as the regulatory role of miR-296.
