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

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is often treated with doxorubicin. MicroRNAs have been shown to have important regulatory roles in cancer and serve as a target in chemoresistance. In this study, we investigated the effects of specific microRNA-200a (miR-200a) on HCC tumor cell growth and effect of doxorubicin-mediated cytotoxicity. Our results show miR-200a is downregulated in human HCC and HCC tumor cell lines. Increasing miR-200a expression inhibited HCC growth and synergized with the antitumor effects of doxorubicin. Inhibiting endogenous miR-200a promoted tumor growth and chemotherapeutic resistance. Increasing miR-200a expression inhibited tumor metabolism (ATP production, mitochondrial respiration, glycolysis), while inhibition of endogenous miR-200a reversed these effects. MiR-200a expression also increased autophagy and synergized with doxorubicin-mediated cytotoxicity. This study identifies a novel role of miR-200a in potentiating doxorubicin-mediated therapeutic effects in HCC.
