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

It has been proved and widely acknowledged that messenger RNAs can talk to each other by competing for a limited pool of miRNAs. The competing endogenous RNAs are called as ceRNAs. Although some researchers have recently used ceRNAs to do biological function annotations, few of them have investigated the ceRNA network on specific disease systematically. In this work, using both miRNA expression data and mRNA expression data of breast cancer patient as well as the miRNA target relations, the authors proposed a computational method to construct a breast-cancer-specific ceRNA network by checking whether the shared miRNA sponges between the gene pairs are significant. The ceRNA network is shown to be scale-free, thus the topological characters such as hub nodes and communities may provide important clues for the biological mechanism. Through investigation on the communities (the dense clusters) in the network, it was found that they are related to cancer hallmarks. In addition, through function annotation of the hub genes in the network, it was found that they are related to breast cancer. Moreover, classifiers based on the discriminative hubs can significantly distinguish breast cancer patients' risks of distant metastasis in all the three independent data sets.
