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

backgroundAbnormally expressed microRNAs (miRNAs) contribute greatly to the initiation and development of human cancers, including cervical cancer, by regulating the target mRNAs. MiR-27a-3p was up-regulated and acted as an oncogene in multiple cancers. However, the function of miR-27a-3p in cervical cancer has not been fully understood.

methodsThe expression of miR-27a-3p in cervical cancer tissues and cell lines was detected by RT-pPCR. MTT assay, colony formation assay and flow cytometry analysis were performed to determine the effects of miR-27a-3p on the growth of cervical cancer cells. The targets of miR-27a-3p were predicted using the miRDB database. Luciferase reporter assay was utilized to confirm the binding between miR-27a-3p and the 3'-untranslated region (UTR) of targets. The expression of target proteins was determined by RT-qPCR and Western blot.

resultsOur results found that miR-27a-3p was overexpressed in cervical cancer tissues and cell lines. Down-regulation of miR-27a-3p significantly inhibited the proliferation, colony formation and promoted apoptosis of cervical cancer cells. Overexpression of miR-27a-3p enhanced the cell proliferation. miR-27a-3p was found to bind the 3'-UTR of F-box and WD repeat domain containing 7 (FBXW7) and resulted in the down-regulation of FBXW7. The up-regulated level of miR-27a-3p was inversely correlated with that of FBXW7 in cervical cancer tissues. Additionally, reintroducing of FBXW7 significantly attenuated the promoting effect of miR-27a-3p on the proliferation of cervical cancer cells.

conclusionThese results indicated the growth-promoting function of miR-27a-3p in cervical cancer via targeting FBXW7. Our finding suggested the potential application of miR-27a-3p/FBXW7 axis in the diagnosis and treatment of cervical cancer.
