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

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs of 18-25 nucleotides that modulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Grape seed proanthocyanidins (GSPs), which are biologically active components in grape seeds, have been demonstrated to exhibit anticancer effects. The current study investigated whether GSPs can regulate miRNA expression and the possible anticancer molecular mechanisms of GSPs. Pancreatic cancer (PC) cell samples, SS3, SS12 and SS24, were treated with 20 µg/ml GSPs for 3, 12 and 24 h, respectively. Control samples, SC3, SC12 and SC24, were also prepared. Using miRNA-seq, transcriptome analysis identified 24, 83 and 83 differentially expressed (DE) miRNAs in SS3 vs. SC3, SS12 vs. SC12 and SS24 vs. SC24, respectively. This indicated that treatment with GSPs could modulate the expression of miRNAs. Subsequently, 74, 598 and 1,204 target genes for the three sets of DE miRNAs were predicted. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis revealed that multiple target genes were associated with the proliferation and apoptosis of PC cells. In addition, a network was constructed of the DE miRNAs and the target genes associated with PC. The associations identified suggested that treatment with GSPs may inhibit the proliferation of PC cells through the modulation of miRNA expression.
