MiR-186-5p prevents hepatocellular carcinoma progression by targeting methyltransferase-like 3 that regulates m6A-mediated stabilization of follistatin-like 5.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a multistep process involving sophisticated genetic, epigenetic, and transcriptional changes. However, studies on microRNA (miRNA)'s regulatory effects of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modifications on HCC progression are limited. Methods: Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), clone formation, and Transwell assays were used to investigate changes in cancer cell proliferation, invasion, and migration. RNA m6A levels were verified using methylated RNA immunoprecipitation. Luciferase reporter assay was used to study the potential binding between miRNAs and mRNA. A mouse tumor transplant model was established to study the changes in tumor progression. Results: Follistatin-like 5 (FSTL5) was significantly downregulated in HCC and inhibited its further progression. Additionally, methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) reduced FSTL5 mRNA stability in an m6A-YTH domain family 2(YTHDF2)-dependent manner. Functional experiments revealed that METTL3 downregulation inhibited HCC progression by upregulating FSTL5 Conclusions: The miR-186-5p/METTL3/YTHDF2/FSTL5 axis may offer new directions for targeted HCC therapy.
