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

background and purposeTo investigate the clinical significance of microRNA (miR)-23a and miR-23b expression in human gastric cancer (GC).

methodsQuantitative RT-PCR was performed to detect the expression changes of miR-23a and miR-23b in 160 human GC tissues and paired normal mucosa. The associations between miR-23a and miR-23b expression, and the selected clinicopathological characteristics and patients' prognosis were also evaluated.

resultsMiR-23a (GC vs. Normal: 3.98 ± 1.23 vs. 2.29 ± 1.12, P < 0.001) and miR-23b (GC vs. Normal: 3.70 ± 1.24 vs. 1.58 ± 1.18, P < 0.001) expression were both increased dramatically when compared with paired normal mucosa. Notably, the expression levels of miR-23a in GC tissues were positively correlated with those of miR-23b (Spearman correlation coefficient r = 0.77, P < 0.001). Then, the coexpression of miR-23a and miR-23b (miR-23a-high/miR-23b-high) in GC tissues was significantly associated with the advanced TNM stage (P < 0.001), the presence of lymph node metastasis (P = 0.008) and the great depth of invasion (P = 0.02). Furthermore, both univariate and multivariate analyses showed that miR-23a/miR-23b co-expression was an independent predictor for unfavorable overall survival.

conclusionsThese results suggest that the dysregulation of miR-23a and miR-23b may be implicated in the progression of human GC. Combined expression of miR-23a and miR-23b appears to be a valuable marker for prognosis of this disease.
