miR-17-5p and miR-4443 Promote Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Development by Targeting TIMP2.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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.
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
backgroundEsophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers in the world with a high mortality rate. The mechanism about ESCC development and whether miRNAs play a critical role remains unclear and needs carefully elucidated. MATERIALS AND
methodsHigh-throughput miRNA sequencing was used to identify the different expression miRNAs between the ESCC tissues and paired adjacent normal tissues. Next, both CCK-8, Transwell and apotosis assay were used to evaluate the role of miRNA in ESCCcells. In addition, we used bioinformatic tools to predict the potential target of the miRNAs and verified by Western Blot. The function of miRNA-target network was further identified in xenograft mice model.
resultsIn ESCC, we identified two miRNAs, miR-17-5p and miR-4443, were significantly upregulated in ESCC tissues than adjacent normal tissues. TIMP2 was proved to be the direct target of both two miRNAs. The miR-17-5p/4443- TIMP2 axis was shown to promote the tumor progression
conclusionsThis study highlights two oncomiRs, miR-17-5p and miR-4443, and its potential role in ESCC progression by regulating TIMP2 expression, suggesting miR-17-5p and miR-4443 may serve as a novel molecular target for ESCC treatment.
