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

The mechanism by which miR-605-3p regulates hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) metastasis has not been clarified. In this study, we found that miR-605-3p was down-regulated in HCC and that low miR-605-3p expression was associated with tumour thrombus and tumour satellites. HCC patients with low miR-605-3p expression showed shorter overall survival and disease-free survival after surgery. Overexpression of miR-605-3p inhibited epithelial-mesenchymal transition and metastasis of HCC through NF-κB signalling by directly inhibiting expression of TRAF6, while silencing of miR-605-3p had the opposite effect. We also found that SNHG16 directly bound to miR-605-3p as a competing endogenous RNA. Mechanistically, high expression of SNHG16 promoted binding to miR-605-3p and inhibited its activity, which led to up-regulation of TRAF6 and sustained activation of the NF-κB pathway, which in turn promoted epithelial-mesenchymal transition and metastasis of HCC. TRAF6 increased SNHG16 promoter activity by activating NF-κB, thereby promoting the transcriptional expression of SNHG16 and forming a positive feedback loop that aggravated HCC malignancy. Our findings reveal a mechanism for the sustained activation of the SNHG16/miR-605-3p/TRAF6/NF-κB feedback loop in HCC and provide a potential target for a new HCC treatment strategy.
