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

objectiveThe purpose of our research was to observe the effects of miR-21, miR-221, and miR-222, as well as their target genes on oxidative stress, lung cancer formation, and metastasis.

methodsPositron emission tomography/computed tomography, fiberoptic bronchoscopy, and/or endobronchial ultrasonography were performed on a total of 69 lung cancer patients to detect the presence or absence of metastasis, and the patients were classified based on the types of cancer. Total RNA and miRNA were isolated from the obtained biopsy samples. The quantitative analysis of hsa-miR-21-5p, hsa-miR-222-3p, and hsa-miR-221-3p and their target genes was performed by the RT-qPCR method. In determining oxidative stress, total antioxidant status and total oxidant status in tissue and total thiol and native thiol in blood were determined spectrophotometrically. OSI and disulfide were calculated.

resultsWe discovered that the metastasis group had higher levels of hsa-miR-21-5p, hsa-miR-221-3p, and hsa-miR-222-3p (p<0.05). While TIMP3, PTEN, and apoptotic genes decreased in metastasis, anti-apoptotic genes increased (p<0.05). In addition, while oxidative stress decreased in the metastasis group, no change was found in the serum (p>0.05).

conclusionOur findings show that upregulation of hsa-miR-21-5p, hsa-miR-221-3p, and hsa-miR-222-3p effectively contributes to both proliferation and invasion by influencing oxidative stress and mitochondrial apoptosis.
