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

The effects of microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) on glioblastoma have attracted the attention of researchers in the last 7 years. However, the role of miR-640 and its targeted gene, Slit guidance ligand 1 (SLIT1), in the development of glioblastoma are not yet fully understood. The present study aimed to investigate the role of miR-640 in the proliferation and adhesion of glioblastoma. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR analysis was performed to detect miR-640 and SLIT1 expression in glioblastoma tissues and cells. In addition, the Dual-luciferase reporter and RNA-pull down assays were performed to assess the association between miR-640 and SLIT1. The Cell Counting Kit-8, BrdU ELISA, cell adhesion and caspase-3 activity assays were also performed to assess cell viability, proliferation, adhesion and apoptosis of glioblastoma cells, respectively. The results demonstrated that miR-640 expression was upregulated in glioblastoma tissues and cells. In addition, miR-640 promoted the cell viability, proliferation and adhesion of glioblastoma cells, while inhibiting cell apoptosis. SLIT1, a direct downstream target of miR-640, was demonstrated to be downregulated in glioblastoma tissues and cells. Furthermore, overexpression of SLIT1 attenuated the promotive effect of miR-640 on glioblastoma cells. Taken together, these results suggest that miR-640 accelerates the proliferation and adhesion of glioblastoma cell lines by targeting and suppressing SLIT1.
