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

objectivesAberrant Wnt signaling cascade is a hallmark of the triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) that is linked with the increased proliferation, invasion, and poor overall survival. many genes are post-transcriptionally regulated by microRNAs (miRNAs) therefore; it is indisputable that the dysregulation of the miRNAs is an explanation for the aberrant signaling cascades. Thus, the present study was conducted to find the putative miRNA targeting the key players of Wnt/β -catenin cascade in the TNBC.

methodsThe miR-130a-3p was found as a potential regulator of the Wnt signaling cascade by applying several bioinformatic algorithms. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to analyze the expression levels of miR-130a-3p and Wnt cascade genes in the TNBC cells. Afterward, TNBC cells were transiently transfected with the miR-130a-3p to investigate its effects on the expression of Wnt cascade genes. Subsequently, MTT, soft agar colony formation, scratch, transwell cell migration, and transwell cell invasion assays were used to determine the behavior of the TNBC cells in response to miR-130a-3p restoration.

resultsResults of the qRT-PCR showed downregulation of miR-130a-3p and upregulation of the Wnt cascade genes in the TNBC cells compared to the normal cells. Transient overexpression of miR-130a-3p decreased the expression levels of Wnt cascade genes significantly in the TNBC cells. Moreover, following the miR-130a-3p overexpression, the proliferation, anchorage-independent growth, and migration of the TNBC cells were reduced.

conclusionOverall, our findings provided an evidence for the significant role of miR-130a-3p in the regulation of Wnt/β-catenin cascade, and also introduced the miR-130a-3p as a new therapeutic target for the patients with TNBC.
