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

backgroundThe aim of this study was to investigate the expression level of circulating microRNA-31(miRNA-31) in lung cancer patients and its clinical significance. MATERIAL AND

methodsReal-time fluorescent quantitative PCR was utilized to detect the circulating miRNA-31 expression levels in 300 lung cancer patients and 300 health control subjects. The ROC curve was drawn to evaluate the diagnostic value of the circulating miRNA-31 expression levels in lung cancer. The 300 lung cancer patients were divided into a miRNA-31 low-expression group and a miRNA-31 high-expression group. A survival curve was drawn according to the Kaplan-Meier method to evaluate the prognostic value of the circulating microRNA-31 expression levels for lung cancer.

resultsThe circulating miRNA-31 expression levels in the lung cancer patients (l.88±0. 67) increased significantly (P<0.001) compared to the healthy controls (0.58±0. 44). The area under the ROC curve drawn according to the circulating miRNA-31 expression levels was 0.785 (95% CI=0.486-0.763). When the critical value was 1.27, the sensitivity and specificity for lung cancer diagnosis according to the circulating miRNA-31 expression levels were 0.769 and 0.745, respectively. The difference in the survival curve between the miRNA-31 low-expression group (123 cases) and high-expression group (177 cases) was statistically significant (P=0.004). Median survival period of the low-expression group (38.44 months) was longer than that of the high-expression group (25.23 months).

conclusionsmiRNA-31 may be a molecular marker for the diagnostic and prognostic evaluation of primary lung cancer.
