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

backgroundMicroRNA (miRNA) expression abnormalities are implicated in tumor progression. Previous reports have indicated that microRNA-25 (miR-25) acts as a tumor suppressor or oncogene in diverse cancers. However, its molecular mechanisms in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are still unclear. F-box and WD repeat domain 7 (Fbxw7) is a critical tumor suppressor and is one of the most important deregulated proteins of the ubiquitin-proteasome system in cancer. Our objective was to elucidate the role of miR-25 and Fbxw7 in HCC and to clarify the mechanism by which Fbxw7 is regulated.

methodsFbxw7 expression was estimated in 210 fixed paraffin-embedded HCC samples by immunohistochemistry, and miR-25 expression was evaluated in 142 frozen HCC tissue samples by quantitative real-time PCR. Oncogenic functions of miR-25 and its role in the regulation of Fbxw7 expression were assayed in vitro.

resultsmiR-25 was overexpressed in HCC tissue compared with adjacent normal tissue and significantly correlated with a poorer prognosis. Moreover, it was inversely correlated with Fbxw7 expression in HCC tissues. Furthermore, miR-25 inhibition significantly reduced the proliferation, migration, and invasion of HCC cells in vitro.

conclusionmiR-25 may promote tumor progression in HCC patients by repression of Fbxw7 and could serve as a promising molecular target for HCC treatment.
