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

Ovarian cancer (OC) is the most lethal gynecological malignancy and one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths among women. Metastasis is the main cause of poor prognosis in OC. MicroRNA (miRNA/miR) has been shown to play an important role in tumorigenesis and metastasis in various cancer types by affecting the expression of its targets. In the present study, the role of miR-32 (miR-32-5p) in OC was explored. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR results showed that miR-32 expression was significantly upregulated in both OC tissues and cell lines. Inhibition of miR-32 by transfection with miR-32 inhibitor in OC cells markedly suppressed cell proliferation, migration and invasion. In addition, a luciferase assay showed that suppressor of morphogenesis in genitalia 1 (SMG1) is a direct target of miR-32, and interference in SMG1 expression with transfection of SMG1 small hairpin RNA restored miR-32-mediated OC cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Taken together, these results indicate that miR-32 may promote OC cell growth and motility by targeting SMG1. The data of the present study suggest that miR-32 may serve as a potential therapeutic target for OC treatment in the future.
