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

Esophageal cancer (ESCA) is the eighth most common cause of cancer-associated mortality in humans. An increasing number of studies have demonstrated that microRNAs (miRs) serve important roles in mediating tumor initiation and progression. miR-454-3p has been found to be involved in the development of various human malignancies; however, little is known about the role of miR-454-3p in esophageal cancer. In the present study, the protein and gene expression levels of miR-454-3p in ESCA tissues and cells were downregulated compared with adjacent normal tissues and normal human esophageal epithelial cells. Additionally, miR-454-3p downregulation resulted in improved survival rates in patients with ESCA, and miR-454-3p overexpression significantly suppressed cell proliferation, migration and invasion and promoted apoptosis in four ESCA cell lines (EC9706, ECA109, TE-1 and TE-8). It was found that miR-454-3p overexpression inhibited the expression of insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 1 (IGF2BP1) at the protein and mRNA expression levels. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that miR-454-3p inhibited ESCA cell proliferation, migration and apoptosis by targeting IGF2BP1 via the ERK and AKT signaling pathways in a subcutaneous xenograft tumor mouse model. These results showed that miR-454-3p functioned as an important tumor suppressor in ESCA by targeting IGFBP1. Therefore, miR-454-3p may be a novel prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for patients with ESCA.
