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

backgroundEsophageal cancer (EC) is a common malignancy that claims millions of lives globally each year. Impairment of esophageal carcinoma cell proliferation could provide a therapeutic approach to treating EC. MiR-449a-5p has been put forward as a crucial tumor suppressor in multiple cancers. In this study, we aimed to determine the mechanism underlying the regulating effect of miR-449a-5p on EC cell proliferation.

methodsThe level of miR-449a-5p in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) tissues and adjacent normal esophageal squamous tissues was detected using real-time polymerase chain reaction. The protein level of B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) was measured by western blot. MTT and colony formation assays were carried out to assess Eca-109 cell proliferation.

resultsThe level of miR-449a-5p in ESCC tissues was reduced in comparison with that in adjacent normal tissues. Down-regulation of miR-449a-5p promoted the proliferation of ESCC cells. Bcl-2 was established as a target gene of miR-449a-5p, and its silencing resulted in the reversal of the effects of miR-449a-5p inhibitor on the proliferation of Eca-109 cells.

conclusionOverexpression of miR-449a-5p inhibited the proliferation of Eca-109 cells via negative regulation of Bcl-2.
