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

The metastasis of tumor cells is a challenge for the clinical treatment of glioma. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) contributes to glioma cell invasiveness. Our previous study confirmed that the expression of miRNA-451, which inhibits the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway by directly targeting CAB39 and plays a repressive role in glioma, is downregulated in glioma. However, the specific mechanism of miRNA-451 regulation in glioma is unclear. In this study, we investigated whether miRNA-451 blocks the processes of EMT and metastasis in glioma cells in vivo and in vitro. By targeting CAB39, miRNA-451 likely triggers the PI3K/Akt/Snail signaling pathway to reduce glioma proliferation, invasion, migration and EMT. We used Western blotting experiments to demonstrate that overexpression of miRNA-451 significantly reduced p-AKT(Ser473), N-cadherin, Vimentin, Twist, Snail and Cyclin D1 expression and increased E-cadherin expression. We demonstrated that overexpression of miR-451 suppressed glioma cell proliferation, invasion, migration and EMT by MTT and colony formation assays, Transwell assays, wound healing assays and animal experiments. Taken together, these results suggest that miRNA-451 can reduce EMT and metastasis in glioma cells through the suppression of the PI3K/Akt/Snail signaling pathway by targeting CAB39 in vitro and in vivo. miR-451 may be a new target for glioma treatment.
