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

backgroundDeregulation of the EGFR signaling pathway activity has been shown to can be effective in resistance to EGFR-TKIs, such as Tarceva (erlotinib), in glioblastoma cells. In addition, reports have shown that the reduction of miRNA-7 expression levels is associated with an increase in the expression of EGFR. Here, we evaluated the effect of miRNA-7 on EGFR expression and sensitivity of the U373-MG glioblastoma to erlotinib.

methodsThe effect of miRNA-7 on EGFR expression was examined using RT-qPCR and western blotting. Trypan blue and MTT assays were performed to explore the effect of treatments on cell growth and survival, respectively. The combination index analysis was used to evaluate the interaction between drugs. Apoptosis was measured by ELISA cell death assay.

resultsWe showed that miRNA-7 markedly inhibited the expression of EGFR and decreased the growth of glioblastoma cells, relative to blank control and negative control miRNA (p < 0.05). Introduction of miRNA-7 synergistically increased the sensitivity of the U373-MG cells to erlotinib. Results of apoptosis assay demonstrated that miRNA-7 can trigger apoptosis and enhance the erlotinib-mediated apoptosis.

conclusionsOur results show that miRNA-7 plays a critical role in the growth, survival and sensitivity of the U373-MG cells to erlotinib by targeting EGFR. Thus, miRNA-7 replacement therapy can become an effective therapeutic procedure in glioblastoma.
