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

objectivesThe present study aimed to investigate the expression level of MicroRNA-25 (miR-25) in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) tissue, and examine its relationship with clinicopathological factors and prognosis of patients with EOC.

methodsExpression levels of miR-25 in 86 pairs of EOC tissue and adjacent normal tissue were measured by quantitative real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The comparison of the expression level of miR-25 between EOC tissue and adjacent normal tissue was performed using the two-sample Student's t test. The correlation between the expression of miR-25 and clinicopathological characters was assessed with the two-sample Student's t test. The overall survival was analyzed by log-rank test, and survival curves were plotted according to Kaplan-Meier.

resultsThe expression level of miR-25 in EOC tissue was significantly higher than in adjacent normal tissue. The miR-25 expression level was significantly positively correlated with tumor stage, histology, and regional lymph node involvement (P < 0.05). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that patients with higher levels of miR-25 had significantly poorer survival than those with lower expression of this miRNA in patients, with a 6-year overall survival of 15.96 and 45.89 %, respectively, (P = 0.001). In the multivariate Cox proportional hazards analysis, high miR-25 expression was independently associated with poor survival (P = 0.002; HR = 2.119; 95 % CI = 1.568-3.221).

conclusionThe increased expression of miR-25 is closely related to poor prognosis of EOC, indicating that miR-25 may serve as a predictive biomarker for the prognosis of EOC.
