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

purposeIn order to investigate the role of miR-15b-5b in the progression of prostate cancer.

methodsWe employed RT-qPCR assay to analyze the transcriptional level of miR-15b-5b in cell lines including PC-3, prostate cancer tissues as well as normal prostate tissues. The protein level of large tumor suppressor factor 2 (LATS2) was detected by Western blot in similar specimens. Bioinformatic analysis was used to predict the targets of miR-15b-5p, and dual-luciferase assay was performed to confirm the relationship of miR-15b-5p with LATS2. Cell proliferation assay and colony formation assay were used to assess the effects of miR-15b-5b on the proliferation of PC-3 cells. Multivariate analysis was performed to identify factors associated with overall survival using the Cox proportional hazards model.

resultsMiR-15b-5b was up-regulated in prostate cancer tissues as well as cell lines, and increased expression of miR-15b-5b was highly correlated with the poor prognosis of patients with prostate cancer. Ectopic expression of miR-15b-5b promoted the proliferation of PC-3 cells. Reciprocally, silence of miR-15b-5b elicited opposite effects on cell proliferation. Mechanistically, we identified LATS2 as the target of miR-15b-5b, which in turn limited LATS2 expression in PC-3 cells. Furthermore, the stimulatory effects of miR-15b-5b on cell proliferation can be attenuated by overexpression of LATS2. Conversely, inhibition of LATS2 promoted the proliferation of PC-3 cells induced by miR-15b-5b. Our data thus demonstrate that dysregulation of miR-15b-5b exacerbates prostate cancer progression via suppression of LATS2.

conclusionThe identification of the oncogenic role of miR-15b-5b in prostate cancer thus proposes that miR-15b-5p might be a new therapeutic target for the treatment of prostate cancer.
