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

backgroundmicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to significantly contribute to the pathogenesis of various tumors, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Specifically, miR-744-5p has been shown to be associated with tumor development, but the underlying mechanism by which miR-744-5p affects HCC remains unclear. Thus, this study sought to explore the molecular mechanism governing the function of miR-744-5p in HCC.

methodsThe expression of miR-744-5p in HCC tissues/cells was detected by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Colony-formation, cell-counting kit 8 (CCK-8), Transwell, and wound-healing assays were used to assess the proliferation and metastasis of HCC cells. Additionally, the interaction between miR-744-5p and transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) was detected using a dual-luciferase reporter and a Western-blot analysis.

resultsmiR-744-5p expression was shown to be significantly reduced in HCC tissues and cells. The overexpression of miR-744-5p not only significantly inhibited HCC cell proliferation, but also significantly reduced epithelial-mesenchymal transition-induced invasion. A luciferase reporter assay validated the ability of miR-744-5p to directly target TGF-β1. Further, the overexpression of TGF-β1 appeared to abolish the inhibitive effect of miR-744-5p mimics on HCC development.

conclusionsAs per our findings, it was revealed that miR-744-5p suppresses HCC proliferation and invasion by regulating the TGF-β1 signaling pathway and epithelial-mesenchymal-transition (EMT).
