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

Medulloblastoma (MB), the most prevalent brain malignancy in children, presents significant challenges in paediatric oncology due to its aggressiveness and potential for relapse. Tailored treatments are crucial to mitigate treatment-related toxicities and long-term side effects on developing brains. Our study aimed to identify therapeutic targets for paediatric MB and explore common miRNA biosignatures with glioblastoma (GB), the most aggressive adult brain tumour. High-throughput small-RNA sequencing identified miR-206 and miR-383 as highly downregulated in MB samples, suggesting their tumour suppressor properties. Bioinformatics analysis identified CORO1C and SV2B as their targets. RT-qPCR, western blotting, and immunohistochemistry confirmed their overexpression in MB and GB. Elevated CORO1C expression was also found in adult MB and GB tissue samples. The role of both miRNAs on their target genes was validated through in vitro functional assays. Our study uncovers the potential role of miR-206/CORO1C and miR-383/SV2B axes as innovative therapeutic targets for combating aggressive paediatric and adult brain malignancies.
