Effect of the MiR-99b and MiR-135b on peritoneal carcinomatosis and liver metastasis in colorectal cancer.

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
aimThis study aimed to evaluate the expression levels of miR-99b and miR-135b in peritoneal carcinoma and liver metastases associated with Colorectal Cancer (CRC), assess their association with the intracellular signaling pathway proteins Kirsten Rat Sarcoma Virus (KRAS) and Akt, and investigate their effects on survival. MATERIALS AND
methodsChanges in the KRAS gene and Akt proteins, expression levels of miR-99b and miR-135b, and factors affecting survival were compared between colorectal cancer-associated peritoneal carcinomatosis and liver metastasis.
resultsThe expression levels of miR-99b and miR-135b and the immunohistochemical grade classification score of Akt were higher in colorectal cancer, peritoneal carcinomatosis, and liver metastasis than in normal tissues (p < 0.05). MiR-99b expression was highest in CRC, whereas miR-135b expression was highest in peritoneal carcinomatosis (p < 0.05). The expression level of miR-99b decreased and that of miR-135b increased in peritoneal and liver metastases compared with that in the tumor tissue. MiR-99b, Akt, and recurrence were risk factors that affected the overall survival rate in the model of clinical predictions (p = 0.045, p = 0.006, and p = 0.012, respectively).
conclusionWhile the expression of miR-99b was highest in the primary tumor, its decrease in liver metastasis and peritoneal carcinomatosis suggests that miR-99b has a protective effect against liver metastasis and peritoneal carcinomatosis. However, the detection of miR-135b expression was highest in peritoneal carcinomatosis and liver metastasis compared with that in the colorectal cancer tissues suggesting that it facilitates peritoneal carcinomatosis and liver metastasis. Furthermore, miR-99b, KRAS mutations, and Akt are risk factors for the overall survival of colorectal cancer.
