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

objectivemiR-19a-3p is widely increased in several cancers and can be used as an oncogenic factor in these cancers. However, the molecular mechanism of miR-19a-3p in bladder urothelial carcinoma (BLCA) is still open. So, the study was aimed at exploring the mechanism of miR-19a-3p in BLCA cells.

methodsBioinformatics analysis was employed to find the differential miRNAs and mRNAs, and the target miRNA and mRNA were determined. Real-time quantitative PCR was used to evaluate miR-19a-3p and THBS1 levels in human urethral epithelial cells and BLCA cells. Western blot was carried out to assay protein expression of THBS1 in human urethral epithelial cells and BLCA cells. Behaviors of BLCA cells were detected through cellular functional assays. Dual-luciferase gene assay was conducted to validate the binding of miR-19a-3p and THBS1.

resultsmiR-19a-3p was increased in BLCA cells, while THBS1 was less expressed in BLCA cells. The miR-19a-3p functions as an oncogene in BLCA. THBS1 was a target of miR-19a-3p, and it could reverse the promotion of miR-19a-3p on cell malignant behaviors in BLCA.

conclusionmiR-19a-3p facilitates cell progression in BLCA via binding THBS1, which may be an underlying therapeutic target for BLCA treatment.
