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

objectiveThe purpose of this study was to investigate the miRNAs and related mechanisms that regulates KLF4 in different cancers. Furthermore, we summarized the potential targets of miRNAs regulating the KLF4 pathway in cancer research.

backgroundMiRNAs are single-stranded, endogenous non-coding small RNAs, some of which are related to human cancers. miRNAs carry out post-transcriptional gene regulation through translation inhibition and degradation of target messenger RNAs (mRNAs) via complementarily pairing with their 3' untranslated regions. KLF4 is an important transcription factor with complex involvement in cancer. Increasing evidence shows that miRNAs are dysregulated in cancer and can regulate cancer-related signaling pathways, thereby affecting tumor progression.

methodsSystematic scientific literature searches were undertaken on PubMed using the following terms: "miRNAs and KLF4", "KLF4 and cancer", "miRNAs and cancer", and "miRNAs, KLF4 and cancer". Relevant papers were retrieved and further results were found by reviewing related papers and the references of the retrieved papers. We then conducted a narrative overview of the literature to summarize the results of the papers.

conclusionsThe role of KLF4 in cancer varies in a context-dependent manner. KLF4-regulating miRNAs in different tumors include miR-124, miR-9-5p, miR-10b, miR-18a, miR-25-3p, miR-10b, miR-92a, miR-103, miR-155, miR-135b-5p, miR-32-5p, miR-148-3p, miR-152-3p, miR-10b, miR-25, miR-3120-5p, miR-7, miR-1233-3p, miR-10b, miR-145, miR-139-5p, miR-16, miR-152, miR-375, and miR-145.
