Design, synthesis, and evaluation of fluoroquinolone derivatives as microRNA-21 small-molecule inhibitors.

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
MicroRNA-21 (miRNA-21) is highly expressed in various tumors. Small-molecule inhibition of miRNA-21 is considered to be an attractive novel cancer therapeutic strategy. In this study, fluoroquinolone derivatives A1-A43 were synthesized and used as miRNA-21 inhibitors. Compound A36 showed the most potent inhibitory activity and specificity for miRNA-21 in a dual-luciferase reporter assay in HeLa cells. Compound A36 significantly reduced the expression of mature miRNA-21 and increased the protein expression of miRNA-21 target genes, including programmed cell death protein 4 (PDCD4) and phosphatase and tensin homology deleted on chromosome ten (PTEN), at 10 μM in HeLa cells. The Cell Counting Kit-8 assay (CCK-8) was used to evaluate the antiproliferative activity of A36; the results showed that the IC
