MiR-133a acts as a tumor suppressor in lung cancer progression by regulating the LASP1 and TGF-β/Smad3 signaling pathway.
Article in Thoracic cancer, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
backgroundMiR-133a has been confirmed to be involved in the development of multiple cancers including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the precise molecular mechanism has not yet been fully elucidated. The purpose of this study was to investigate the functional role and underlying mechanism of miR-133a in the progression of NSCLC.
methodsQuantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was performed to measure miR-133a and LASP1 expression in NSCLC tissues and cells. 3-(4, 5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2, 5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay was used to detect cell viability. The protein levels were measured by western blot. The tumor growth was measured by xenograft tumor formation assay.
resultsmiR-133a was significantly decreased while LASP1 was increased in NSCLC tissues and cells compared with control groups. Moreover, overexpression of miR-133a suppressed cell viability, whereas miR-133a knockdown enhanced the viability of A549 cells. More importantly, LASP1 was verified as a direct target of miR-133a. Moreover, overexpression of miR-133a inhibited the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and TGF-β/Smad3 pathways by regulating LASP1 in vitro. In addition, miR-133a mimic suppressed tumor growth by modulating the TGF-β/Smad3 pathway in vivo.
conclusionsIn conclusion, miR-133a acted as a tumor suppressor in lung cancer progression by regulating the LASP1 and TGF-β/Smad3 signaling pathway.
