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

Multiple myelomas (MM) are the second most common haematological malignancy, for which no curative treatments have been reported to date. MicroRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) have recently been shown to be involved in the proliferation of MM cells. However, the molecular mechanisms through which miRNAs regulate migration and angiogenesis in MM are poorly understood. Accordingly, the present study evaluated the role of miR‑144‑3p in MM. miR‑144‑3p exhibited a lower expression in patients with MM and in MM cell lines compared with normal cells (mononuclear cells derived from bone marrow). The transfection of miR‑144‑3p into MM cells inhibited proliferation, migration and angiogenesis, and induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis compared to the control cells. Furthermore, miR‑144‑3p suppressed the transcription and translation of the myocyte enhancer factor 2A (MEF2A) gene and disrupted the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor. The knockdown of MEF2A significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration and angiogenesis of MM cells. However, the overexpression of MEF2A reversed these effects. On the whole, the findings of the present study demonstrate that miR‑144‑3p exerts antitumour effects by downregulating MEF2A to inhibit the proliferation, migration and angiogenesis of MM cells. This suggests that the miR‑144‑3p/MEF2A interaction may prove to be a potential therapeutic target for MM.
