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

objectiveThe aim of this study was to investigate whether miR-15a has prognostic relevance in human gliomas.

methodsThe expression levels of miR-15a were analyzed in glioma surgical resection tissues by microarray and quantitative real-time PCR. Survival analysis by the Kaplan-Meier method was performed to assess prognostic significance.

resultsDownregulation of miR-15a was detected in most primary gliomas, which was confirmed by qRT-PCR analysis. Additionally, the down-regulation of miR-15a was significantly associated with the WHO grade (P = 0.003), the low KPS (P = 0.027), time to recurrence (P = 0.044) and the poor OS (P = 0.046). Using Kaplan-Meier analysis, a comparison of survival curves of low versus high expresser of miR-15a revealed a highly significant difference in OS (P = 0.001) and DFS (P = 0.006), which suggested that low expression of miR-15a is associated with a worse prognosis. Multivariate analyses showed that miR-15a expression was independent risk factors predicting OS [Hazard ratio (HR), 7.52; 95 % confidence interval (CI), 2.63-21.47; P = 0.002] and DFS [HR, 11.56; 95 % CI, 5.17-25.96; P < 0.001] in glioma.

conclusionsThese findings indicated for the first time that the expression of miR-15a is significantly correlated with prognosis in glioma patients, suggesting that the miR-15a may serve as independent prognostic marker.
