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

Alterations in the expression of microRNA (miR)‑138 have been demonstrated to result in the development of several malignant tumours. However, the possible function of miR‑138 in human glioma cells remains unclear. The present study demonstrated that miR‑138 was significantly downregulated in 48 human glioma specimens by quantitative PCR analysis. The upregulation of miR‑138 exerted significant antiproliferative and anti‑invasive effects on glioma cells and promoted their apoptosis. In addition, cAMP response element‑binding protein 1 (CREB1) was confirmed as a direct target gene of miR‑138 by luciferase gene reporter assay, and the antitumour effect of miR‑138 on glioma cells was significantly reversed by CREB1 overexpression. Moreover, the molecular mechanisms underlying the tumour‑suppressive role of miR‑138 in malignant glioma may be associated with the dephosphorylation of AKT/mTOR caused by the miR‑138 upregulation‑induced decrease in CREB1 expression in glioma cells. The results of the present study indicated that miR‑138 may affect CREB1/AKT/mTOR signalling to regulate the proliferation, apoptosis and invasion of glioma cells and the malignant progression of glioma, thereby suggesting that miR‑138 may be a potential target for the treatment of gliomas.
