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

purposeAberrant expression of miRNAs has been demonstrated to contribute to human carcinogenesis. This study was aimed at profiling differentially expressed miRNAs in formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissues of spinal chordoma and testing the potential for using altered expression of miRNAs as prognostic markers for spinal chordoma patients.

methodsA miRNA array was used to profile differentially expressed miRNAs in spinal chordoma and nucleus pulposus tissues. Four of these differentially expressed miRNAs was then validated in spinal chordoma and control patients using quantitative RT-PCR. Bioinformatical analysis identified potential GO terms and signaling pathways affected by these microRNAs. Altered miR-1237-3p expression was then found to be associated with clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of spinal chordoma patients.

resultsThe miRNA arrays identified 29 differentially expressed miRNAs in spinal chordoma tissues, four of which were verified by qRT-PCR in 42 spinal chordomas and 14 control tissues. Bioinformatical analysis revealed that the potential target genes of these miRNAs were mainly involved in gene transcription, cell junction proteins, and gene pathways in cancer and endocytosis. Reduced miR-1237-3p expression was associated with tumor invasion and worse recurrence-free survival of spinal chordoma patients (χ (2) = 16.217, p = 0.000, log-rank test). Multivariate analyses showed that miR-1237-3p expression was an independent prognostic factor for patients with spinal chordoma (HR = 0.001, 95 % CI 0.000-0.136, p = 0.005).

conclusionThe data from the current study identified a total of 29 differentially expressed miRNAs in chordoma tissues and reduced miR-1237-3p expression was associated with chordoma invasion and worse recurrence-free survival of the patients.
