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

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are implicated in various cancer-relevant cellular processes, including cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and angiogenesis. However, the function of miRNAs in hepatocellular cancer (HCC) has not been fully clarified. This study aimed to investigate the role of miR-1178-3p in HCC metastasis and try to reveal the potential mechanism. In the present study, we found that miR-1178-3p was down-regulated, while TBL1XR1 was up-regulated in HCC cancer tissues by bioinformatics analysis and RT-PCR. We further confirmed the connection of miR-1178-3p and TBL1XR1 using dual-luciferase reporter (DLR) assay. Moreover, gain- and loss-of-function experiments demonstrated that overexpress miR-1178-3p inhibited cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in HCC cells and reduced the xenograft tumor growth and angiogenesis by regulating the TBL1XR1/PI3K/Akt axis. Our results indicated that the novel identified miR-1178-3p functions as a tumor suppressor in HCC through regulating TBL1XR1/PI3K/Akt pathway, and these findings could be a valid molecular target for liver cancer therapy.
