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

Breast cancer (BC) is the most common gynecologic tumor worldwide where aberrant expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) is frequently involved. Here, we evaluated the function of miR-375 on BC development and the molecules implicated. Differentially expressed genes between tumor and paired normal tissues from BC patients were screened out by microarray analyses. miR-375 was abundantly expressed in BC tissues and cells, and it was correlated with the poor prognosis of patients. Downregulation of miR-375 was introduced into BC cell lines MCF-7 and HCC1954, after which the viability, colony formation, migration, and invasion were suppressed, while the apoptosis of cells was increased, and the xenograft tumors in nude mice were reduced as well. EZH2 increased methylation and phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) and increased transcription activity of miR-375, while miR-375 directly targeted FOXO1. Either overexpression of EZH2 or downregulation of FOXO1 blocked the functions of anti-miR-375 in cells and animals. FOXO1 was found as an activator of the p53 signaling pathway. This study showed that miR-375 is an important oncogene in BC. EZH2 is an upstream regulator of miR-375 through mediating the methylation of STAT3, while FOXO1 is a downstream target mRNA of miR-375 that activates the p53 signaling pathway to suppress BC development.
