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

objectiveOwing to the lethality of liver cancer, it is considered as one of the devastating types of cancers across the globe. Consistently, the study was designed to elucidate the role and to explore the therapeutic implications of miR-145 in human liver cancer. MATERIALS &

methodsIn the current experimental study, gene expression was determined by RT-PCR analysis. Transfection of cancer cells was carried out using Lipofectamine 2000. The cell proliferation of liver cancer cells was estimated by MTT assay. Clonogenic assay was performed for analysis of colony forming potential of cancer cells. Flow cytometry was done to analyze the cell cycle phase distribution of cancer cells. Transwell chamber assay was performed to assess the motility of cancer cells. Western blotting was done to estimate the expression levels of proteins. Dual luciferase assay was performed for interaction analysis of miR-145 with CDCA3.

resultThe miR-145 expression was found to be downregulated in liver cancer cells. The transfection mediated overexpression of miR-145 inhibited the cancer cell proliferation and when miR-145 inhibitor was transfected, cancer cells showed higher proliferation rates. Enrichment of miR-145 levels led to cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase by inhibiting cyclin B1. miR-145 also restricted the migration and invasion of cancer cells. CDCA3 was shown to be the intracellular target of miR-145 and it was found that the inhibitory effects of miR-145 were modulated through CDCA3, intracellularly.

conclusionThe current study clearly revealed that there is a need to investigate the regulatory role of different molecular entities like microRNAs in cancer development to better understand mechanics behind this pathogenesis and design more effective combating strategies against cancer.
