Low expression of miR-138 inhibit the proliferation, migration and invasion of colorectal cancer and affect patient survival by targeting SIRT1.
Article in Translational cancer research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundColorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers in the world, resulting in about 600,000 deaths every year. It is urgent to explore the molecular mechanism and find new effective therapy. Abnormal molecular expression in cancer is considered as a screening biomarker and therapeutic target for tumors, MicroRNA (miRNA) as one of the important molecules, plays an important role in the regulation of tumorigenesis.
methodsIn this study, we aimed to elucidate the molecular mechanism by which mir-138 regulates the development and progression of CRC, and to find new molecular targets for the diagnosis and therapy of CRC. We have used qRT-PCR to study the expression of miR-138 and SIRT1 in CRC cells and tissues, CCK8 assay was used to test the proliferation ability of CRC cells, and invasion and migration ability of CRC cells
resultsWe found that miR-138 was significantly decreased in CRC tissues and cell lines by qRT-PCR, the level of miR-138 was significantly correlated with lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis, the CRC patients with high miR-138 level whose overall survival and disease-free survival were significantly longer. We also found that the level of SIRT1 in CRC tissues and cell lines is higher, and through Dual-luciferase reporter assay, we found that SIRT1 is a new target of miR-138 in CRC, and SIRT1 knockdown could inhibit CRC proliferation, migration and invasion
conclusionsThus, we found that miR-138 could inhibit CRC cell proliferation, migration and invasion by targeting SIRT1 firstly, and that will provide a new idea for the therapy of CRC.
