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

This study attempted to investigate possible molecular mechanism and role of miR-18a-5p in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Differential miRNAs and their possible targets were analyzed through TCGA database. By conducting qRT-PCR, miR-18a-5p was tested to be increased and SORBS2 was assessed to be downregulated in HNSCC cells. CCK-8, Transwell, and flow cytometry assays disclosed that miR-18a-5p facilitated HNSCC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion and repressed cell apoptosis. By dual-luciferase reporter gene assay, it was verified that miR-18a-5p had binding sites into SORBS2. Rescue experiments displayed that forced expression of SORBS2 restored the impact of miR-18a-5p overexpression on HNSCC cells. Collectively, our research preliminarily identified the promotion effect of miR-18a-5p/SORBS2 axis on malignant phenotypes of HNSCC cells. Our findings may provide a preclinical reference for HNSCC treatment.
