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

backgroundMalignant brain tumors have been a serious threat to human health worldwide. This study aims to investigate the role of miR-136-3p in glioma development.

methodsHematoxylin-eosin staining (H&E) staining was used to determine the pathologic alterations of glioma tissues. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis and GEO2R analysis was performed to examine the expression of miRNAs and genes. Western blot was applied to detect the protein expression. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and colony formation were used to analyze the glioma cell growth. Trans-well assay was used to determine the cell migration. Annexin V-FITC/PI staining was conducted to determine the cell apoptosis of transfected glioma cells. The dual-luciferase reporter assay was carried out to confirm the binding sites of miR-136-3p on 3' untranslated regions (3' UTR) of Kruppel-like factor 7 (KLF7). Tumor-bearing experiment in nude mice was performed to comprehensively investigate the role of miR-136-3p/KLF7 axis in gliomas.

resultsFirstly, the results showed that miR-136-3p was decreased in glioma tissues compared with adjacent tissues. Overexpression of miR-136-3p significantly inhibited cell growth of LN-229 and U251 by decreasing expression of Cyclin A1 and PCNA (proliferating cell nuclear antigen), and it suppressed glioma cell migration by downregulating N-cadherin and elevating E-cadherin levels, and it also promotes glioma cell apoptosis by promoting Bcl2-associated X (Bax) expression but suppressing Bcl-2 expression. Furthermore, we observed that KLF7 was a direct target of miR-136-3p, and KLF7 was negatively regulated by miR-136-3p in glioma cells. Finally, overexpression of KLF7 partly blocked miR-136-3p-induced inhibition of tumor growth in vitro and in vivo.

conclusionsTargeting miR-136-3p/KLF7 axis might be a novel manner to counter against gliomas.
