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

The aim of the present study was to investigate the association of the expression of members in the miR-200 family with clinicopathological characteristics and their impacts on overall survival in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Expression levels of members in the miR-200 family, including miR-200a, miR-200b, miR-200c, miR-141, and miR-429, were detected by using miRNA qRT-PCR and in situ hybridization. Associations of their expression with clinicopathological factors and overall survival were statistically evaluated. Among five members in the miR-200 family, the expression levels of miR-200a, miR-200b and miR-200c were significantly higher in EOC tissues than those in normal surface ovarian epithelium tissues, in line with the findings ofin situ hybridization analysis. In addition, tumors with high miR-200a and miR-200 bexpressionwere both more likely to have advanced stage (both P=0.006) and higher grade (P=0.01 and 0.02), whilehighmiR-200 cexpression was onlysignificantly associated with advanced stage disease (P=0.01). Moreover, univariate analysis showed that the patients with high miR-200a, miR-200b and miR-200c expression all correlated with shorter overall survival in EOC patients (all P<0.001). Multivariate statistical analysis further identified miR-200a, miR-200b and miR-200c asindependent prognostic factorsfor EOC (all P=0.01). In conclusion, these findings suggest that miR-200a, miR-200b and miR-200c overexpression may promote the aggressive tumor progression and be recognized as reliable markers to predict the survival in patients with EOCs. The three miRNAs could be attractive therapeutic targets in patients with advanced-stage EOCs.
