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

BACKGROUND/

aimThe epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a key driver in bladder cancer progression. This study investigated the tumor-suppressive role of miR-124-3p and its regulatory effect on EGFR. MATERIALS AND

methodsTSGH8301 and T24 bladder cancer cells were treated with the EGFR inhibitor erlotinib or transfected with an miR-124-3p mimic. Cell viability, proliferation, migration, and invasion were assessed using MTT, colony formation, and transwell assays. EGFR targeting was confirmed via Western blot, immunofluorescence, and luciferase reporter assays.

resultsErlotinib and miR-124-3p both reduced cell viability and proliferation. miR-124-3p significantly inhibited EGFR phosphorylation and expression, suppressed migration and invasion, and downregulated the EGFR downstream targets MMP2, MMP9, and VEGF-A. Luciferase assays confirmed the direct binding of miR-124-3p to EGFR 3'UTR.

conclusionmiR-124-3p suppresses bladder cancer cells progression by directly targeting and inactivating EGFR, thereby impairing cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. These findings highlight miR-124-3p as a potential therapeutic agent in EGFR-driven bladder cancer.
