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

To explore the expression of miR-135a-3p in prostate cancer,analyze its effects on tumor development and the involved mechanisms. A total of 125 specimens of cancer tissues and corresponding adjacent normal tissues from prostate cancer patients were collected. Real - Time quantitative PCR was employed to quantify the expression levels of miR-135a-3p in prostate cancer tissues and cell lines. Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis and Cox regression were performed to evaluate the prognostic significance of miR-135a-3p in prostate cancer. The CCK-8 assay was used to detect cell proliferation. A dual-luciferase reporter assay was employed to validate the targeting interaction between miR-135a-3p and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). miR-135a-3p is lowly expressed in prostate cancer tissues and cells, and its low expression is associated with poor prognosis of patients. The low expression state of miR-135a-3p showed a significant correlation with TNM stage, clinical stage, Gleason score, and lymph node metastasis. In addition, miR-135a-3p inhibits the proliferation of prostate cancer cells and cancer progression by negatively regulating the expression of TLR4. miR-135a-3p is downregulated in prostate cancer and is associated with poor prognosis of patients. It exerts an inhibitory effect on the progression of prostate cancer by targeting TLR4.
