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

No clinically useful predictors of latent cervical lymph node metastasis (LNM) in early oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) are available. In this study, we focused on the microRNAs (miRNAs) involved in the expression of numerous genes and explored those associated with latent cervical LNM in early OSCC (eOSCC). First, microarray and RT-PCR analyses revealed a significant downregulation of miR-375-3p expression in primary eOSCC tissues with latent cervical LNM. Next, we examined the effects of miR-375-3p mimics on the growth and migration of four human OSCC cell lines that do not express miR-375-3p. The overexpression of miR-375-3p significantly suppressed the cell proliferation and migration of human OSCC cells in vitro. Furthermore, miR-375-3p mimics markedly inhibited the subcutaneously xenografted human OSCC tumors. Finally, we found the genes involved in the PI3K-AKT pathway and cell migration as target gene candidates of miR-375-3p in human OSCC cells. These findings suggest that miR-375-3p functions as a tumor suppressive-miRNA in OSCC and may serve as a potential biomarker for the prediction of latent cervical LNM in eOSCC and a useful therapeutic target to suppress OSCC progression.
