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

Dexmedetomidine (DEX) could serve as an adjuvant analgesic during cancer therapies. Abnormal expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) could lead to cancer development. This study was aimed to explore the roles of DEX in ovarian cancer (OC) development. OC cell lines SKOV3 and HO-8910 were treated with DEX, after which OC development and the miR-185, SOX9, and Wnt/β-catenin pathway were measured. DEX-treated HO-8910 cells were transfected with miR-185 mimic, miR-185 antisense or miR-185 antisense + silenced SOX9 to further measure the OC cell growth. The target relation between miR-185 and SOX9 was identified, and SOX9 and Wnt/β-catenin pathway were protein levels detected after miR-185 transfection. The role of miR-185 in OC
