microRNA-27b inhibits cell proliferation and invasion in bladder cancer by targeting engrailed-2.
Article in Bioscience reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
backgroundBladder cancer is considered a malignant tumour characterised by great heterogeneity. Engrailed-2 may be a gene implicated in bladder cancer. Bioinformatics analysis found base pair complementation between microRNA-27b and engrailed-2. The present study aimed to investigate the reciprocal association between microRNA-27b and engrailed-2 in bladder cancer.
methodsThe microRNA-27b and the protein of engrailed-2 in the tissues and cells of the bladder were detected. The processes of apoptosis, proliferation, invasion, and migration of tumour cells were evaluated. The co-action between microRNA-27b and engrailed-2 was detected by a luciferase reporter system. Finally, the interaction between microRNA-27b and engrailed-2 was further verified in vivo.
resultsThe study found that the expression level of microRNA-27b is lower in bladder cancer tissues and cells than that in neighbouring ordinary tissues, whereas the opposite outcome was observed regarding the expression level of engrailed-2. Furthermore, microRNA-27b expression level is not significantly linked to the age of patients with bladder cancer; however, it is significantly associated with the clinicopathological grade of bladder cancer. Notably, engrailed-2 is negatively regulated by microRNA-27b. Transfection with microRNA-27b was associated with a significant reduction in the activity of bladder cancer cells and promoted apoptosis, while engrailed-2 restoration effectively reversed the above effects of microRNA-27b on bladder cancer in vitro and in vivo.
conclusionsIn conclusion, engrailed-2 is engaged in the development and process of bladder cancer through the negative mediation of microRNA-27b; additionally, microRNA-27b/engrailed-2 could form a signalling pathway with a significant effect on the process of bladder cancer.
