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-26b (miR-26b) is reported to be downregulated in many human malignancies and function as a tumor suppressor. However, the roles of miR-26b expression in cervical cancer progression are unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinicopathological or prognostic significance of miR-26b in human cervical cancer.

methodsA cohort of 88 paired of cervical cancer and the adjacent normal cervical epithelial tissues were collected. Quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) assay was used to detect the expression of miR-26b and its correlations with clinicopathological factors were statistically analyzed. Finally, the survival was assessed by the Kaplan-Meier method and proportional hazards model.

resultsThe expression level of miR-26b in cervical cancer tissues was significantly lower than that in the adjacent normal cervical tissues (P<0.001). Reduced miR-26b was observed to be significantly correlated with advanced FIGO stage, higher incidence of lymph node metastasis and recurrence of cervical cancer patients (P=0.002, 0.036 and 0.029, respectively). In addition, patients with low-miR-26b expression showed poorer recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) than those with high-miR-26b expression (P=0.0043 and 0.0015, respectively). Furthermore, multivariate analyses demonstrated that low miR-26b expression was an independent prognostic factor for predicting the 5-year RFS and OS of cervical cancer patients (P=0.013 and 0.007, respectively).

conclusionOur results showed that reduced miR-26b was correlated with tumor development and poor prognosis in human cervical cancer. The status of miR-26b expression may be a potential prognostic biomarker for cervical cancer patients.
