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

Several studies have proved the tumor-suppressive effects of miR-335 but its role in colon cancer via regulation of the Raf/MEK/ERK signalling pathway is yet unknown. As such the main motive of conducting the present study was to elucidate the role of miR-335 in colon cancer via regulation of Raf/MEK/ERK signalling pathway and to explore its therapeutic potential. The results revealed significant (P < 0.05) downregulation of miR-335 in colon cancer and its overexpression led to a significant (P < 0.05) decline in viability of the HT-29 and SW948 cells. The TUNNEL assay showed miR-335 promotes apoptosis in the HT-29 and SW948 colon cancer cells and is also associated with increase in Bax and decrease in Bcl-2 expression. The results also revealed that miR-335 overexpression enhances the sensitivity of the HT-29 and SW948 cells to the apoptotic effects of cisplatin. From the transwell assays, it was found that the migration of the HT-29 and SW948 cells was decreased by 53% and 45% and while as invasion was decreased by 49% and 42% respectively (P < 0.05). Finally, western blot analysis showed that miR-335 blocks the Raf/MEK/ERK signalling pathway in HT-29 colon cancer cells. The results of in vivo study showed that miR-335 also exhibits tumor-suppressive effects on xenografted tumors. Taken together, it is concluded that miR-335 acts as tumor-suppressor in colon cancer and may exhibit therapeutic implications in its treatment.
