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
The capability of microRNAs (miRNAs) to regulate gene expression across species has opened new avenues for miRNA-based therapeutics. Here, we investigated the potential of PC-5p-1090 (miR-PC-1090), a miRNA found in deer antlers, to control the malignant phenotypes of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. Using Cell Counting Kit-8 and transwell assays, we found that heterologous expression of miR-PC-1090 inhibited HCC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Bioinformatics analysis indicated that predicted miR-PC-1090 targets, including MARCKS, SMARCAD1, and SOX9, were significantly elevated in HCC tissues, and their high expressions were associated with poor overall survival of HCC patients. Moreover, mechanistic investigations revealed that miR-PC-1090 promoted the degradation of MARCKS and SMARCAD1 mRNAs and hindered the translation of SOX9 mRNA by recognizing their 3' untranslated regions. Subsequent loss-of-function and rescue experiments confirmed the involvement of MARCKS, SMARCAD1, and SOX9 in miR-PC-1090-suppressed HCC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Notably, MARCKS knockdown induced the downregulation of phosphorylated MARCKS and a corresponding upregulation of phosphorylated AKT in HCC. Conversely, miR-PC-1090 repressed MARCKS phosphorylation and effectively circumvented the activation of the PI3K/AKT pathway. Furthermore, miR-PC-1090 regulates the Wnt/β-catenin pathway through SMARCAD1- and SOX9-mediated reduction of β-catenin expression. Overall, our results illustrate the tumor-suppressive activity and molecular mechanism of antler-derived miR-PC-1090 in HCC cells, indicating its potential as a multiple-target agent for HCC treatment.
