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

Hypoxia plays an essential role in the development of various cancers. The biological function and underlying mechanism of microRNA-338-3p (miR-338-3p) under hypoxia remain unclarified in breast cancer (BC). Herein, we performed bioinformatics, gain and loss of function of miR-338-3p, a luciferase reporter assay, and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) in vitro and in a tumor xenograft model. We also explored the potential signaling pathways of miR-338-3p in BC. We detected the expression levels and prognostic significance of miR-338-3p in BC by qRT-PCR and in situ hybridization. MiR-338-3p was lowly expressed in BC tissues and cell lines, and BC patients with underexpression of miR-338-3p tend to have a dismal overall survival. Functional experiments showed that miR-338-3p overexpression inhibited BC cell proliferation, invasion, migration, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process, whereas miR-338-3p silencing abolished these biological behaviors. Zinc finger E-box-binding homeobox 2 (ZEB2) was validated as a direct target of miR-338-3p. ZEB2 overexpression promoted while ZEB2 knockdown abolished the promoted effects of miR-338-3p knockdown on cell biological behaviors through the NF-ĸB and PI3K/Akt signal pathways. HIF1A can transcriptionally downregulate miR-338-3p under hypoxia. In total, miR-338-3p counteracts hypoxia-induced BC cells growth, migration, invasion, and EMT via the ZEB2 and NF-ĸB/PI3K signal pathways, implicating miR-338-3p may be a promising target to treat patients with BC.
