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

Chemoresistance has become a primary hurdle in the therapeutic outcome of hepatocellular carcinoma. Substantial evidences have demonstrated that microRNAs (miRNAs) are closely associated with the chemoresistance of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Our investigation is aimed at testifying the influence of microRNA-15a-5p (miR-15a-5p)/eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) on hepatocellular carcinoma resistance to pirarubicin (THP). In our study, miR-15a-5p expression was increased in THP-treated HepG2 cells. Downregulation of miR-15a-5p blocked cell growth and elevated cell apoptosis of HepG2 cells treated with THP. Moreover, eIF4E was verified as a direct target of miR-15a-5p by binding its 3'-UTR, which was confirmed by luciferase report experiment. Additionally, eIF4E was negatively associated with the miR-15a-5p expression in HepG2 cells. Mechanically, eIF4E was proven as a specific downstream of miR-15a-5p and mediated the effects of miR-15a-5p on cell viability and apoptosis of HepG2 cells treated with THP. These findings supported that miR-15a-5p facilitated THP resistance of hepatocellular carcinoma cells by modulating eIF4E, thus providing an experimental basis that miR-15a-5p might act as a novel diagnostic target in hepatocellular carcinoma resistance to THP.
