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

backgroundIncreasing evidence suggests that microRNAs (miRNAs) play critical roles in cancer progression. Therefore, investigating the function of miRNAs that are aberrantly expressed in gastric cancer (GC) and characterizing the involved underlying mechanism are essential for the treatment of gastric cancer. MiR-138-5p was found to be down-regulated in multiple cancers, which acted as a tumor suppressor in cancer progression; however, whether and how miR-138-5p regulates the malignant behaviors of GC has not been fully understood.

methodsThe level of miR-138-5p in GC tissues and cell lines was detected by RT-qPCR. The effects of miR-138-5p on the growth of GC cells were evaluated by the in vitro Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, cell apoptosis, cell cycle analysis, wound-healing assay, and in vivo xenograft mice model. The targets of miR-138-5p were predicted using the miRDB online tool, confirmed by luciferase report assay and Western blot.

resultsMiR-138-5p was frequently decreased in GC tissues and cell lines. Decreased expression of miR-138-5p was significantly associated with the lymph node metastasis of GC patients. Overexpression of miR-138-5p suppressed GC cell proliferation, migration, increased cell apoptosis as well as inhibited the tumor growth in vivo. DEK oncogene was predicted as a potential target of miR-138-5p. MiR-138-5p bound the 3'-UTR of DEK and inhibited the level of DEK in GC cells. Restoration of DEK abrogated miR-138-5p overexpression-mediated suppression of GC cell proliferation and cell cycle arrest.

conclusionOur results demonstrated the anti-cancer role of miR-138-5p in GC by targeting DEK, which suggested miR-138-5p as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of patient with GC.
