MicroRNA-203 restrains epithelial-mesenchymal transition, invasion and migration of papillary thyroid cancer by downregulating AKT3.
Article in Cell cycle (Georgetown, Tex.), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 12 papers.
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.
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) have been reported to serve pivotal roles in the regulation of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) development; thus, the aim of this study is to identify the impact of miR-203 and AKT3 on the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), migration and invasion of PTC. MiR-203 and AKT3 expression in PTC tissues and cells were tested. TPC-1 cells and K1 cells were screened for follow-up experiments. Apoptosis-related proteins (Bcl-2 and Bax), EMT-related proteins (Vimentin and E-cadherin), proliferation-associated proteins (Ki67 and CDK4), invasion- and migration-related protein (MMP-2 and MMP-9) were verified. The effects of upregulated miR-203 and downregulated AKT3 on the biological characteristics of PTC cells in each group were detected via the gain- and loss-of-function assays. The targeting relationship between miR-203 and AKT3 was verified.MiR-203 expression declined and AKT3 heightened in PTC tissues and cells. Upregulated miR-203 and downregulated AKT3 reduced the tumor volume and weight, suppressed cell migration, colony formation, proliferation, invasion, proliferation-associated proteins (Ki67 and CDK4), invasion- and migration-related protein (MMP-2 and MMP-9) and promoted cell apoptosis, raised E-cadherin and decreased Vimentin protein expression in TPC-1 cells. On the contrary, the K1 cells with the downregulated miR-203 or upregulated AKT3 exhibited an opposite result. This study suggests that upregulated miR-203 suppresses EMT, invasion, proliferation and migration as well as induces apoptosis of PTC cells via downregulated AKT3.
