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

Pancreatic cancer is a malignant disease with poor prognosis. Emerging evidences have showed that miR-597-5p is closely related to tumor development. However, the functional roles of miR-597-5p in pancreatic cancer remain unknown. This study aimed to investigate the expression of miR-597-5p in pancreatic cancer tissues and cells, and explored its regulatory mechanism during pancreatic cancer progression. Pancreatic cancer and adjacent tissues were obtained to detect the expression of miR-597-5p by RT-qPCR. Cell growth, apoptosis, and related protein expression were, respectively, tested by CCK-8 assay, cell formation, wound healing, Transwell assay, flow cytometry, and western blotting. Finally, the pancreatic cancer mice model was constructed. In vitro and in vivo results showed that miR-597-5p expression was down-regulated in pancreatic cancer tissues and cell lines, and increased the overall survival of pancreatic cancer patients. Moreover, miR-597-5p decreased pancreatic cancer cell viability, reduced relative wound width, suppressed colony formation and decreased invasive cell number, as well as reduced the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), Ki67, Cyclin D1, N-cad, and Bcl-2. Meanwhile, it increased pancreatic cancer cell apoptosis and the expression of E-cad, cleaved caspase 3, and Bax. The dual-luciferase reporter assay confirmed miR-597-5p could directly target e-twenty six like-1 (ELK1) oncogene. The reduction of cell growth and the induction of cell apoptosis induced by miR-597-5p were reversed by ELK1. In addition, miR-597-5p inhibited the growth of pancreatic cancer in vivo. This study demonstrated that miR-597-5p may be a novel suppressor of pancreatic cancer. It inhibits pancreatic cancer cell growth and promotes apoptosis by the down-regulation of ELK1 in vitro and in vivo.
