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

Abnormal expressions of microRNAs are involved in growth and progression of human cancers including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). An adaptor protein CRKL plays a pivotal role in HCC growth, whereas miR-124-3p downregulation is associated with clinical stage and the poor survival of patients. However, the relationship between miR-124-3p and CRKL and the molecular mechanisms through which they regulate HCC metastasis remains unclear. In the current work, we explored miR-124-3p and its correlation with CRKL expression in HCC patient tissues. We found that miR-124-3p deficiency is inversely co-related with CRKL overexpression in tumorous tissues of HCC patients, which was also consistent in HCCLM3 and Huh7 HCC cell lines. Target validation data shows that miR-124-3p directly targets CRKL. The overexpression of miR-124-3p reverses the CRKL expression at both mRNA and protein levels and inhibits the cell development, migration, and invasion. Mechanistic investigations showed that CRKL downregulation suppresses the ERK pathway and EMT process, and concomitant decrease in invasion and metastasis of HCC cells. The expressions of key molecules in the ERK pathway such as RAF, MEK, ERK1/2, and pERK1/2 and key promoters of EMT such as
