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

backgroundMicroRNA-630 (miR-630) has been shown to be involved in various human malignancies. However, its role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unknown. MATERIAL AND

methodsTaqMan qRT-PCR assay was performed to detect the expression of miR-630 in 42 pairs of HCC tissues and corresponding noncancerous hepatocellular tissues, and its correlations with clinicopathologic features and serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) level of patients were analyzed.

resultsThe present study found that miR-630 expression was significantly increased in HCC tissues and cells compared with their normal counterparts. miR-630 expression level did not significantly chang at stage I but was markedly increased at advanced TNM stage (stage II~III). In addition, the increased expression of miR-630 in tissues of HCC appeared in patients who exhibited elevated serum levels of AFP (>25 ng/ml), but not in those with normal AFP levels (≤25 ng/ml). The miR-630 expression in carcinoma tissues revealed a positive correlation with the levels of serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP; R2=0.768).

conclusionsThese results suggest that miR-630 is associated with tumor progression of hepatocellular carcinoma and may be a potential prognosis indicator.
