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

Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is an essential member of the STAT family. STAT3 regulates diverse genes that mediate inflammatory reactions, cell survival, proliferation, and angiogenesis, and it is aberrantly upregulated and activated in various types of malignancies. Furthermore, STAT3 signalling is involved in multiple feedback loops and pathways. In this study, we demonstrate that miR-93-3p plays an oncogenic role in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) by enhancing RCC cell proliferation and suppressing apoptosis. In addition, STAT3 can regulate the transcription of miR-93 by directly binding its promoter region. miR-93 can inhibit death-associated protein kinase 1 (DAPK1) at the protein level. Moreover, STAT3 can block DAPK1 expression at the RNA level. Importantly, we verified that DAPK1 overexpression in turn suppresses the entry of activated STAT3 into the cell nucleus. Thus, this study reveals a potential continuously activated signalling transduction pathway, STAT3-miR93-DAPK1, and may provide a novel clinical therapeutic approach for RCC.
