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

Background: MicroRNA (miRNA) is a kind of non-coding RNA that regulates gene expression and is involved in tumor development. MiRNA-125 is reportedly aberrantly expressed in colorectal cancer tissue; however, its potential function and underlying mechanism remain unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the expression level and potential role of the miRNA-125 family in the invasion and migration of colorectal cancer. Methods: To further understand the role of the miRNA-125 family in metastatic colorectal cancer, we overexpressed miRNA-125 in the SW480 cell line by transfection with the miRNA-125 family mimics or a sponge. Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay was performed to identify the effect of the miRNA-125 family on cell proliferation, and a Transwell filter assay was used to detect the role of the miRNA-125 family in migration and invasion. A luciferase assay was carried out to confirm the binding site of miRNA-125 and the target gene, damage specific DNA binding protein 2 ( Results: The real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) results showed that miR-125a-5p and miR-125b-1-5p were up-regulated in metastatic colorectal cancer tissues. The Transwell filter assay results appeared that miR-125a-5p and miR-125b-1-5p could promote the invasion and migration of colorectal cancer cells. The luciferase assay data confirmed the binding site of miR-125a-5p and miR-125b-1-5p on the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of Conclusions: Our findings illustrated that miRNA125a-5p and miRNA125b-1-5p could reduce the expression of
