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 involved in the development of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the biological roles of several aberrantly expressed miRNAs have not been explored yet. In the present study, miR-4491 was identified as a novel upregulated miRNA in NSCLC tissues and cell lines. Downregulation of miR-4491 by a miR-4491 inhibitor inhibited the proliferation and triggered the apoptosis of NSCLC cells. Tripartite motif containing 7 (TRIM7), a tumor suppressor gene expressed in NSCLC, was demonstrated in the present study to be directly targeted by miR-4491. This finding was verified by bioinformatics analysis, reverse transcription-quantitative PCR, western blotting and dual luciferase reporter assays. Furthermore, downregulation of miR-4491 inactivated nuclear factor-κB signaling via induction of TRIM7. In addition, TRIM7 silencing attenuated the effect of miR-4491 inhibitor in NSCLC cells. The decreased TRIM7 level in NSCLC tissues was negatively correlated with miR-4491 expression in NSCLC tissues. In conclusion, the findings from this study demonstrated that miR-4491 expression was upregulated in NSCLC tissues and cells and that miR-4491 may promote NSCLC progression via targeting TRIM7.
