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-15b (miR-15b) has been demonstrated to suppress proliferation by arresting cell cycle progression and inducing apoptosis in glioma cells. However, the prognostic value of miR-15b expression in human gliomas remains unclear. In the present study, the authors examined the expression profile in glioma specimens and the prognostic value of miR-15b in patients with gliomas. Real-time polymerase chain reaction assay was employed to detect the expression levels of miR-15b in 92 glioma tissues categorized by World Health Organization (WHO) histopathological grades. However, the prognostic value of miR-15b in human glioma has not been evaluated yet. MiR-15b expression in human glioma tissues was distinctly lower than in normal brain tissues. Furthermore, the expression of miR-15b notably decreased with the ascending histopathological grade of gliomas. Additionally, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that low miR-15b expression was associated with poor overall survival in patients with gliomas. Similarly, miR-15b reduction occurred with increasing frequency in glioma patients with lower Karnofsky performance scale (KPS) scores than in those with higher KPS scores. No significant difference was observed between miR-15b expression and gender, age, and tumor location. These findings revealed that a lower expression level of miR-15b was closely related to a shorter overall survival, suggesting that miR-15b could be an intrinsic factor that plays an important role in the malignant progression of gliomas.
