Article in Translational cancer research, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundThe methylation of microRNAs (miRNAs) and DNA play an important role in the development of tumors. MiRNA-34a can inhibit the proliferation and metastasis of osteosarcoma cells. It was approved in a variety of tumors studies that abnormal promoter methylation leads to the reduction of miRNA-34a expression. This study investigated the regulation and mechanisms of miRNA-34a and promoter 5'-C-phosphate-G-3' (CpG) methylation in osteosarcoma cells.
methodsTo identify whether the abnormal methylation of miRNA-34a promoter occurs in osteosarcoma cells, and the relationship between abnormal methylation and miRNA-34a expression, we used matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) to compare differences in the methylation of miRNA-34a promoter CpGs between osteosarcoma cells and osteoblasts, and osteosarcoma tissues and normal bone tissues, respectively. The quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was used to compare the difference in the expression of miRNA-34a. The human osteosarcoma cells were demethylated and the miRNA-34a expression was upregulated to detect changes in the methylation of miRNA-34a promoter CpGs and the level of miRNA-34a expression. The regulation and mechanism of miRNA-34a and its promoter CpGs was analyzed.
resultsWe found abnormal hypermethylation in miRNA-34a promoters CpG1, CpG3, CpG5, and CpG7, and significant decrease in miRNA-34a expression. In osteosarcoma cells, miRNA-34a expression was increased following decreased methylation of miRNA-34a promoter CpG5, and the proliferation rate of osteosarcoma cells was decreased, indicating that hypermethylation of promoter CpG5 might negatively regulate miRNA-34a expression. After the expression of upregulated miRNA-34a, the expression of DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferase 1 (DMNT1) in osteosarcoma cells and the methylation level of miRNA-34a promoter CpG5 were both decreased, showing that miRNA-34a could negatively regulate the methylation of promoter CpG5 by DNMT1.
conclusionsIn osteosarcoma cells, abnormal hypermethylation occurred in some miRNA-34a promoter CpGs. MiRNA-34a and its promotor methylation negatively regulated with each other. Among the promoters, CpG5 has a significant specificity and is expected to be the target of diagnosis and treatment for osteosarcoma.
