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

A transfer RNA (tRNA)-derived fragment (tRF) was found to be a new possible biological marker and target in carcinoma therapy. However, the effect exerted by tRFs on cervical carcinoma remains unclear. In the present study, the potential tumor suppressor gene tRF-Glu49 was identified in cervical carcinoma through tRF and tiRNA microarray investigation. A reverse transcription-quantitative PCR assay then demonstrated that tRF-Glu49 was downregulated in the cervical carcinoma tissue. Further clinicopathological analysis proved that tRF-Glu49 was associated with less aggressive clinical features and improved prognosis. Cell Counting Kit-8 tests, Transwell and Matrigel tests, and xCELLigence system tests revealed that tRF-Glu49 inhibited cervical cell proliferation, migration and invasion processes. Mechanistic investigation revealed that tRF-Glu49 directly regulated the oncogene, fibrinogen-like protein-1 (FGL1). In general, according to the result achieved in the present study, tRF-Glu49 can modulate cervical cell proliferation, migration, and invasion processes through the target process for FGL1, and tRF-Glu49 is likely to be a possible prognostic biological marker in patients with cervical carcinoma.
