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

Colon cancer (CC), which has high morbidity and mortality, can be regulated by microRNAs. This study aimed to investigate the regulatory function of microRNA miR-145-5p in CC cells. Bioinformatics analysis was used to screen key genes in CC. The expression of miR-145-5p, chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 1 (CXCL1), and integrin α2 (ITGA2) in CC was confirmed by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and western blotting. After cell transfection, changes in proliferation and migration in CC cells were detected using the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), colony formation assay, and wound healing assay. A luciferase assay was conducted to confirm the interactome of miR-145-5p, CXCL1, and ITGA2 in CC cells. Bioinformatics analysis confirmed that CXCL1 and ITGA2 were key genes in CC. After performing several cell functional experiments, the results confirmed that upregulation of miR-145-5p attenuated proliferation and migration of CC cells. Luciferase assay and western blotting confirmed that CXCL1 and ITGA2 were targets of miR-145-5p, and their expression in CC could be suppressed by miR-145-5p. In conclusion, miR-145-5p is a tumor suppressor in CC and can inhibit the expression of CXCL1 and ITGA2.
