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-130a (miR-130a) has recently been found to be implicated in many critical processes in various types of human cancer. However, the prognostic value of miR-130a in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear. In the present study, we investigated the expression of miR-130a in HCC and analyzed its association with clinical features and prognosis of HCC patients. We determined the expression level of miR-130a in 102 cases of paired HCC and adjacent non-tumor tissues by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). The qRT-PCR results showed that the miR-130a expression was significantly down-regulated in tumor tissues compared with the adjacent non-tumor tissues (P<0.001). Correlation analysis showed that miR-130a expression was significantly correlated with gender (P=0.008), HBsAg status (P=0.038), tumor size (P=0.003), and tumor-node-metastasis stage (P=0.029). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that patients with low miR-130a expression had a poorer overall survival than patients with high miR-130a expression (log-rank P=0.007). The multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that miR-130a expression was an independent prognostic factor for overall survival (hazard ratio 2.217; 95% CI 1.103-4.458; P=0.025). The present study showed for the first time that miR-130a expression was significantly down-regulated in HCC and associated with overall survival of patients with HCC. The present study also provided evidence that miR-130a was an independent prognostic factor and could serve as a potential prognostic biomarker for patients with HCC.
