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

objectiveEmerging studies highlight the crucial effects of microRNAs on cancer initiation and malignant progression of various tumors. This study focused on the biological effect of miR-377-3p on CUL1 and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and Wnt/β-catenin pathways in osteosarcoma (OS).

methodsWe performed quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) to analyze miR-377-3p and CUL1 expression levels in OS tissues and MG-63 cells. Then, cell counting kit (CCK)-8 and Transwell assay were used to examine the functions of miR-377-3p in OS cell growth and metastasis abilities. Meanwhile, luciferase reporter assay was used to validate CUL1 as direct target of miR-377-3p. qRT-PCR and Western blot were then carried out to detect the impact of miR-377-3p on EMT and Wnt/β-catenin pathways. Tumor xenograft models were established to further examine the effects of miR-377-3p on OS tumorigenesis in vivo.

resultsmiR-377-3p downregulation was frequently identified in OS tissues and cells, which was associated with worse prognosis of OS patients. Functional experiments showed miR-377-3p restoration could dramatically repress OS cell growth and migration by regulation of EMT and Wnt/β-catenin pathways. Moreover, luciferase reporter assay revealed that CUL1 acted as a functional target of miR-377-3p. Additionally, the elevated CUL1 expressions in OS tissues also indicated poor prognosis of OS patients. Furthermore, the OS tumor growth was also obviously inhibited by miR-377-3p overexpression in vivo.

conclusionsCollectively, all the above findings revealed that miR-377-3p exerted anti-OS functions via CUL1 and EMT and Wnt/β-catenin pathways. These results may contribute to the development of clinical OS treatment.
