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

backgroundCervical cancer ranks as one of the most prevalent female malignancies globally, and its treatment with new targets has been the focus of current research. The present study set out to investigate the function of microRNA-326 (miR-326)

methodsThe detection of messenger RNA (mRNA) expressing miR-326 and TCF4 in cervical cancer cell lines and tumor samples was conducted using quantitative real-time polymerase chain (qRT-PCR). A dual-luciferase reporter assay was carried out to detect the target relationship of miR-326 with TCF4. A Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was employed to detect the effect of miR-326 on CasKi cell viability. Flow cytometry and western blotting were employed to examine the effects of miR-326 on cancer stem cell (CSC)-like property. Tumor weight was measured in orthotopic xenograft mouse models. Immunohistochemistry was employed to analyze the protein expression levels of Ki-67, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), CD44, and SRY-box 4 (SOX4).

resultDownregulation of the mRNA expression levels of miR-326 was observed in cervical cancer cell lines and tumor tissue, while the levels of TCF4 were upregulated. The dual-luciferase reporter assay revealed binding of miR-326 to the three prime untranslated region (3'-UTR) of TCF4.

conclusionsmiR-326 acted in a tumor-suppressive manner through its regulation of TCF4, and has potential as a biomarker or therapeutic target for cervical cancer.
