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

backgroundPrecise prediction of drug combination targeting tumor cells effectively is a crucial challenge for tumor therapy, especially for endometrial cancer (EC). Considering the resistance, crosstalk that occurs between the receptor tyrosine kinase mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (cMet) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and their indispensable influence on the occurrence of EC, this study aimed to explore a novel therapeutic approach for EC treatment through blocking cMet and EGFR simultaneously.

methodsIn the present study, the expression of miR-26a-5p in EC cell lines was detected using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction assay. The potential role of miR-26a-5p in the development of EC was examined using cell counting kit assay, 5-ethynyl-2'- deoxyuridine staining, wound healing assay, and cell apoptosis staining assay. Subsequently, the effect of upregulated miR-26a-5p

resultsThe results indicated that miR-26a-5p expression significantly reduced in EC cell lines compared with the normal endometrial cell line. Furthermore, the overexpression of miR-26a-5p inhibited the progression of EC, including cell migration, cell proliferation, and cell apoptosis

conclusionsRNAi therapeutic miR-26a-5p suppressed the progression of EC through regulating the cMet/HGF pathway. The dual therapy using RNA interference and neutralizing antibody simultaneously blocked tumor targets, including cMet and EGFR, thus providing a novel approach for overcoming the resistance to the inhibitors against a single target in EC treatment.
