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

backgroundEsophageal cancer is one of the most common cancers across the globe; the 5-year survival of esophageal cancer patients is still low. MicroRNA (miRNA) dysregulation has been implicated in cancer development, and the miRNAs play a pivotal role in esophageal cancer pathogenesis. It is urgently needed to find out how miRNA dysregulation was involved in esophageal cancer (EC) development.

methodsThrough experiments in vivo and in vitro, we explored potential signaling pathways, miR-493/Wnt5A/c-JUN loop, in EC. Their mechanistic roles in EC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion were investigated through multiple validation steps in EC9706 and TE13 cell lines and EC specimens.

resultsOverexpression of miR-493 attenuates esophageal cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in vivo and in vitro. Moreover, miR-493 downregulation is an unfavorable factor in EC and negatively correlated with Wnt5A. The existence of miR-493 is also an important attribute of metabolism. Based on mechanism analyses, we show that miR-493 inhibits the activity of c-JUN and p-PI3K/p-AKT with enhanced p21 and directly regulates Wnt5A expression and function, whereas c-JUN binds the promoter region of miR-493 and suppressed the expression of miR-493, forming a negative feedback loop.

conclusionsThe miR-493/Wnt5A/c-JUN loop is a molecular feedback loop that refers to the development of esophageal cancer cells and a potential target for the treatment of esophageal cancer.
