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

backgroundProstate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common cancers in men worldwide. Early detection of prostate cancer by prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening still has limitations. The discovery of new candidates is urgent and can provide insights into the mechanism involved in prostate cancer tumorigenesis.

methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study involving prostate cancer cell lines and clinical samples. qPCR and IHC were used to evaluate the expression of miR-137-3p/JNK3/EZH2. Furthermore, cell growth, migration, invasion, cell cycle and apoptosis were analyzed to describe the function of this axis. Moreover, xenograft models, pathology platforms and TCGA data were generated to confirm the role of the miR-137-3p/JNK3/EZH2 axis.

resultsIn this study, we determined that miR-137-3p was significantly reduced in prostate cancer, and low expression of miR-137-3p was correlated with tumor stage . The overexpression of miR-137-3p suppressed cell proliferation, migration and invasion in prostate cancer by enhancing cell apoptosis. We also validated JNK3 (MAPK10) as a direct target gene of miR-137-3p. Down-regulation of JNK3 in prostate cancer also inhibited cell proliferation and invasion and promoted apoptosis. Moreover, JNK3 expression was up-regulated and negatively correlated with miR-137-3p in prostate cancer tissues. Furthermore, JNK3 modulated EZH2 expression, which is a key oncogene in prostate cancer. Survival data indicated that patients with high levels of JNK3 and EZH2 had a worse prognosis.

conclusionCollectively, the identification of miR-137-3p and the JNK3/EZH2 pathway might facilitate the development of biomarkers and therapeutic targets for prostate cancer.
