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-206 (miR-206) has been proved to function as a tumor suppressor in several types of human malignant cancers. More recently, it has been demonstrated that the ectopic expression of miR-206 significantly inhibited the proliferation and promoted apoptosis at the early stages in glioma cell U343. In order to investigate the clinical significance of miR-206 expression in human astrocytoma, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis was used to characterize the expression patterns of miR-206 in 108 astrocytoma and 20 normal brain tissues. As the results, the expression levels of miR-206 in astrocytoma tissues were significantly lower than those in normal brain tissues (P < 0.001). Additionally, the decreased expression of miR-206 in astrocytoma was significantly associated with advanced pathological grade (P = 0.008), low Karnofsky performance score (KPS, P = 0.02), and large tumor size (P = 0.01). Moreover, Kaplan-Meier survival and Cox regression analyses showed that low miR-206 expression (P < 0.001) and advanced pathological grade (P = 0.02) were independent factors predicting poor prognosis for astrocytomas. In conclusion, this is the first report of the differential expression of miR-206 in human astrocytoma tissues. MiR-206 could be a valuable marker of astrocytoma progression and low miR-206 expression is associated with poor overall survival in patients with malignant astrocytomas.
