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

Accumulating evidence suggests that intrinsic resistance to radiotherapy reduces the survival of patients with cancer. The present study investigated whether miR-93-5p affects proliferation, migration, apoptosis, and radiosensitivity of breast cancer (BC) cells. MDA-MB-468, MCF-7, and MDA-MB-231 BC cells were incubated with hsa-miR-93-5p mimics, hsa-miR-93-5p inhibitor, and negative control RNA with or without exposure to ionizing radiation to determine cell proliferation, migration, and apoptosis using the Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, wound healing assay and apoptotic assay, respectively. Overexpression of miR-93-5p inhibited the migratory abilities (P = 0.001) and decreased the cell proliferation (P = 0.049) of MCF-7 cells. In MCF-7 cells, a significant increase in apoptosis was detected after treatment with miR-93-5p compared with the negative control (P = 0.001) and miR-93-5p inhibitor (P = 0.004). In MDA-MB-468 cells, the proportion of apoptotic cells increased following exposure to ionizing radiation (P = 0.001). The percentage of apoptotic MDA-MB-231 cells in the miR-93-5p group was significantly increase compared with that determined in the negative control (P = 0.044) and hsa-miR-93-5p inhibitor (P = 0.046) groups. In conclusion, our findings showed that miR-93-5p reduces BC cell proliferation and migratory capacity, and increases the ratio of apoptotic cells. Overexpression of miR-93-5p could increase radiosensitivity in BC cells by increasing apoptosis. This evidence provides new insight into the treatment of BC and identifies miR-93-5p as a potential therapeutic target.
