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

We aimed to establish whether the expression of microRNA-34a (miR-34a) is correlated with that of c-MET and G1 phase regulators such as cyclin dependent kinase (CDK) 4, CDK6, and cyclin D (CCND) 1 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and whether a relationship exists between miR-34a expression and both clinicopathologic factors and recurrence-free survival (RFS). For 58 samples archived from NSCLC patients, we measured the expression of miR-34a and c-MET, CDK4/6, and CCND1 by quantitative RT-PCR and assessed the relationship between miR-34a expression, clinicopathological factors, and RFS. The expression of miR-34a was significantly lower in squamous cell tumors (P < 0.001) and in tumors associated with lymphatic invasion (P = 0.001). We found significant inverse correlations between miR-34a and c-MET (R = -0.316, P = 0.028) and CDK6 expression (R = -0.4582, P = 0.004). RFS were longer in adenocarcinoma patients with high miR-34a expression than in those with low miR-34a expression (55.6 vs. 21.6 months; P = 0.020). With univariate analysis, statistically significant prognostic factors for RFS in adenocarcinoma patients were miR-34a expression (Relative risk (RR), 8.14; P = 0.049), TNM stage (RR, 13.55; P = 0.001), LN metastasis (RR, 4.19; P = 0.043), and the presence of lymphatic invasion (RR, 7.05; P = 0.015). In multivariate analysis, only miR-34a was prognostic for RFS (RR, 11.5; P = 0.027). miR-34a expression was inversely correlated with that of c-MET and CDK6 in NSCLC, and had prognostic significance for RFS, especially in adenocarcinoma patients.
