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 Osteosarcoma is a primary bone aggressive cancer, affecting adolescents worldwide. Increasing evidence suggests that dysfunction of microRNAs (miRNAs) plays a pivotal role in malignancies. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential functions of miR-181c and verifying its regulatory effects on SMAD7 in osteosarcoma. MATERIAL AND METHODS The expressions of miR-181c and SMAD7 in osteosarcoma were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Cell proliferation, invasion and migration abilities were assessed using MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) and Transwell assay. Bioinformatics analysis and luciferase reporter assay were used to explore the interaction between miR-181c and SMAD7. Western blot was performed to determine the functions of miR-181c on osteosarcoma cell epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and transforming growth factor-ß (TGF-ß) signaling pathway. RESULTS Decreased expression levels of miR-181c and SMAD7 were identified in osteosarcoma using qRT-PCR. The downregulated miR-181c and SMAD7 expressions indicated poor prognosis of osteosarcoma patients. Moreover, miR-181c overexpression prominently repressed osteosarcoma cell proliferation, invasion, and migration abilities via modulating EMT and TGF-ß signaling pathway. SMAD7 functioned as an important target for miR-181c in osteosarcoma cells. Furthermore, upregulation of miR-181c dramatically suppressed osteosarcoma tumorigenesis in vivo. CONCLUSIONS These findings indicated that miR-181c suppressed osteosarcoma progression, providing new insight into the pathogenesis and representing a potential therapeutic target for osteosarcoma.
