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

MicroRNA (miR)-328-3p is believed to have anti-tumor impacts in various human cancers. However, its role in prostate cancer (PCa) is uncertain. In this research, miR-328-3p expression in PCa was reduced. Meanwhile, it was discovered that miR-328-3p directly targeted profilin-1 (PFN1) 3'-untranslated region to negatively modulate PFN1. Elevating miR-328-3p or reducing PFN1 suppressed cell growth, migration, and invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition; overexpression of miR-328-3p or inhibition of PFN1 delayed tumor growth in vivo. Further studies found that PCa patients with advanced T stage or high Gleason score had significantly lower miR-328-3p compared to PCa patients with early stage or low score. In addition, PCa patients with high miR-328-3p had a better prognosis than those with low miR-328-3p. Briefly, this study highlights the clinical and biological role of miR-328-3p as a tumor suppressor miRNA in PCa and explores the downstream mechanisms of miR-328-3p.
