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

backgroundWe previously identified a panel of five miRNAs associated with prostate cancer recurrence and metastasis. Expression of one of the down-regulated miRNAs, miR-139-5p, was significantly associated with a lower incidence of biochemical recurrence and metastasis. Transcriptome profiling of miR-139-expressing prostate cancer cells revealed up-regulation of genes involved in interferon (IFN) stimulation. The association between miR-139 and IFN-β was further explored in this study. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe examined miR-139 transfected PC3, Du145 and LNCaP cells and the associated IFN response by transcriptome sequencing, immunoblotting and pulldown assays.

resultsTreatment of prostate cancer cells by miR-139 resulted in the up-regulation of IFN-related genes. Specifically, miR-139 induced expression of the IFN-β protein. The ability of miR-139 to induce IFN-β was due to its binding to RIG-1 and the induction of IFN-related genes was found to be dependent on RIG-1 expression.

conclusionmiR-139 acts as an immune agonist of RIG-1 to enhance IFN-β response in prostate cancer cells.
