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

backgroundBreast cancer (BRCA) is the most common and leading cause of cancer-related death in women. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNA fragments that play a role in regulating gene expression including the cancer-related pathways. Although dysregulation of miR-223 has been demonstrated in recent studies to have prognostic value in various cancers, its diagnostic and prognostic role in BRCA remains unknown.

methodsThe expression and the prognostic value of miR-223 were evaluated using the TCGA data and verified by qRT-PCR. Subsequently, potential oncogenic targets of miR-223 were identified by using three different miRNA target prediction tools and the GEPIA database. In addition to these databases, protein-protein interaction network, molecular functions, prognostic value, and the expression level of miR-223 targets were included by using several other bioinformatics tools and databases; such as, UALCAN, GeneMANIA and Metascape.

resultsThe bioinformatic results demonstrated that miR-223 downregulated in BRCA and associated with poor prognosis of patients. In vitro experiments validated that miR-223 significantly downregulated in BRCA cells, MCF-7, SK-BR3, MDA-MB-231 and HCC1500, compared to normal breast cell line hTERT-HME1. Furthermore, ANLN, DYNLT1, LRRC59, SLC12A8 and TPM3 genes were identified as the potential oncogenic target genes of miR-223 based on their expression and prognosis in BRCA. Additionally, protein-protein interaction network of these target genes was mainly enriched in dynein intermediate chain binding, cell division, regulation of cell cycle process, and positive regulation of cellular component biogenesis.

conclusionsThe results suggests that miR-223 and its targets, ANLN, DYNLT1, LRRC59, SLC12A8 and TPM3, might be reliable potential prognostic biomarkers in BRCA patients.
