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

Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that aberrant microRNA (miRNA) expression is involved in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression. Previous findings suggested that miRNA (miR)‑875‑5p participates in the development of various types of cancer. However, the expression and function of miR‑875‑5p in HCC remains largely unclear. The analysis of clinical samples in the present study demonstrated that miR‑875‑5p expression was downregulated in HCC tissues compared to adjacent non‑tumor tissues, which was associated with a large tumor size, venous infiltration, advanced tumor‑node‑metastasis stage and unfavorable overall survival. In vitro experiments revealed that ectopic expression of miR‑875‑5p suppressed, whereas inhibition of miR‑875‑5p promoted HCC cell proliferation, migration, invasion and epithelial‑to‑mesenchymal transition (EMT) progression. Overexpression of miR‑875‑5p restrained HCC tumor growth and metastasis in vivo. Mechanistically, eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 subunit a (eIF3a) was identified as the downstream target of miR‑875‑5p in HCC. Further experiments demonstrated that the expression of eIF3a was upregulated and negatively correlated with that of miR‑875‑5p in HCC tissues. In addition, miR‑875‑5p negatively regulated the luciferase activity of wild‑type, but not mutant 3'‑untranslated region (3'UTR) of eIF3a mRNA. miR‑875‑5p suppressed eIF3a expression at the mRNA and protein level in HCC cells. Additionally, eIF3a exerted an oncogenic role, and knockdown of eIF3a inhibited the proliferation, motility and EMT of HCC cells. In addition, eIF3a overexpression abolished the inhibitory effects of miR‑875‑5p on the proliferation, motility and EMT in HCC cells. In conclusion, miR‑875‑5p, which was downregulated in HCC, may inhibit tumor growth and metastasis by eIF3a downregulation via targeting its 3'UTR and may be a promising prognostic and therapeutic strategy in HCC.
