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

(1) Background: MicroRNA-129 (miR-129) participates in tumor progression and chemoresistance in various cancer types. In this study, the role of miR-129-3p, the main mature form of miR-129, in tumor progression and chemoradiotherapy resistance in head and neck cancer was evaluated. (2) Methods: RT-PCR, western blotting, cell proliferation assays, cell apoptosis assays, and cell invasion and migration assays were used. (3) Results: In this study, the miR-129-3p overexpression suppressed the proliferation, invasion, and migration of SNU1041, SCC15, and SCC25 human HNSCC cell lines. Additionally, it induced apoptosis and enhanced radiation-/cisplatin-induced apoptosis of SNU1041, SCC15, and SCC25 cells. Therefore, miR-129-3p could suppress tumor progression and enhance chemoradiosensitivity in human HNSCC. Furthermore, miR-129-3p was downregulated in fresh tumor tissues from patients with HNSCC compared with that in the adjacent normal mucosa. In a nude mouse xenograft model with SNU15 cells, the miR-129-3p overexpression significantly decreased tumor growth, as measured by tumor weight and volume. (4) Conclusions: Our study provides evidence that miR-129-3p suppresses tumor progression and chemoradioresistance in HNSCC. This finding may serve as a basis for developing miR-129-3p-based therapeutic strategies.
