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

objectiveAccording to different reports, miR-9-5p either facilitates or suppresses the occurrence of tumors. BRAF is a serine/threonine kinase involved in the MAPK pathway and is a proto-oncogene promoting the progression of many tumors, especially melanoma. The present study aimed to reveal the mechanism of action of miR-9-5p and BRAF in choroidal melanoma (CM).

methodsRT-qPCR was used to detect the expression of miR-9-5p in CM cells after transfection with miR-9-5p mimics and inhibitor. EdU assay and Transwell assay, respectively, showed the proliferation, migration and invasion of CM cells after transfection with miR-9-5p mimics and inhibitor. A bioinformatics website was used for target prediction and the dual luciferase reporter assay was used to verify the interaction between miR-9-5p and BRAF. RT-qPCR and Western blot were performed to examine the expression of BRAF mRNA and protein, respectively. The BRAF protein was knocked down by siRNAs and then examined by Western blot. The effects of BRAF in CM cells were investigated by EdU assay and Transwell assay. Overexpressing BRAF and transfecting miR-9-5p mimics into choroidal melanoma cells confirmed the interaction between miR-9-5p and BRAF.

resultsmiR-9-5p could bind to the BRAF mRNA 3'UTR and inhibit the transcription and translation of BRAF, thereby suppressing the proliferation, migration and invasion of CM cell lines. Moreover, silencing BRAF inhibited the progression of CM cells.

conclusionsIn conclusion, this study is the first to investigate the association among BRAF, miR-9-5p and the progression of CM cells. In addition, the interaction between BRAF and miR-9-5p was explored for the first time in CM. Thus, our study suggests that miR-9-5p, BRAF and their interaction may act as potential therapeutic targets for CM.
