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

In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of miR-877-5p in the malignant phenotypes of prostate cancer (PCa) cells and its underlying mechanism. RT-qPCR analysis was performed to examine the expression of miR-877-5p and sperm-specific antigen 2 (SSFA2) in PCa tissues and cells. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, 5-ethynyl-20-deoxyuridine (EdU) assay, flow cytometry, wound-healing assay, and Transwell invasion assay were performed to determine the functional roles of miR-877-5p in PCa cells. The association of miR-877-5p with SSFA2 was determined by luciferase reporter and RNA pull-down assays. In this study, we found that the expression level of miR-877-5p was decreased in PCa tissues and cells. Functionally, overexpression of miR-877-5p exerted tumor suppressor properties in PCa cells. Mechanistically, SSFA2 was identified as a target gene of miR-877-5p, while overexpression of SSFA2 could abrogate the anti-tumor effects of miR-877-5p in PCa cells. These findings demonstrated that miR-877-5p/SSFA2 axis functioned as a potential target for PCa treatment.
