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

MicroRNA-214 (miR-214) plays an important role in tumor cell proliferation, migration and invasion, as well as tumor angiogenesis. Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme 9 (UBC9) is implicated in regulating several critical cancer-related pathways. Recent study has demonstrated that miR-214 reduction may facilitate UBC9 expression and may be involved in the regulation of glioma cell proliferation. The aim of this study was to clarify the clinical significance of miR-214 and UBC9 in human glioma, which has not been fully elucidated. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis was used to characterize the expression patterns of miR-214 and UBC9 mRNA in 108 glioma and 20 normal brain tissues. The associations of miR-214 and UBC9 mRNA expressions with clinicopathological factors and prognosis of glioma patients were also statistically analyzed. Compared with normal brain tissues, the expression levels of miR-214 and UBC9 mRNA in glioma tissues were significantly downregulated and upregulated, respectively (both P < 0.001). There was a negative correlation between miR-214 and UBC9 mRNA expression in glioma tissues (r = -0.61, P = 0.01). Additionally, the combined miR-214 downregulation and UBC9 upregulation (miR-214-low/UBC9-high) was significantly associated with advanced pathological grade (P = 0.008). Moreover, Kaplan-Meier survival and Cox regression analyses showed that the glioma patients with miR-214-low/UBC9-high expression had poorest overall survival (P < 0.001) and conjoined expression of miR-214-low/UBC9-high was an independent prognostic indicator of glioma (P = 0.01). Furthermore, subgroup analyses showed that miR-214-low/UBC9-high expression was significantly associated with poor overall survival in glioma patients with high pathological grades (for grade III-IV: P < 0.001). This prospective study offers the convincing evidence for the first time that miR-214 and its target gene UBC9 may contribute to the development and the clinical outcome of glioma, and are valuable prognostic factors for glioma patients. A combined detection of miR-214/UBC9 expression may benefit us in predicting the prognosis of patients with advanced gliomas.
