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 explored microRNA301 diagnosis value in hepatocellular cancer (HCC), attempting to provide novel insights for early detection, effective prevention, and timely treatment. 42 patients with HCC and 38 controls composed of 9 liver cirrhosis (LC), 9 chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and 20 healthy individuals were investigated in the study. Serum microRNA301 expression levels were detected using fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (FQ-PCR) technology. ROC curve was performed to evaluate diagnosis value of microRNA301. Meanwhile, the correlations of microRNA301 levels with clinical characteristics were also analyzed. Significantly up-regulated expression of serum microRNA301 was seen in HCC patients compared with the controls (P<0.05). We also noted that level changes of microRNA301 were associated with differentiation, alpha fetoprotein (AFP), portal vein-emboli and HasAg (P<0.05), rather than age, gender and tumor size. Based on the area under ROC curve of 0.880, the critical value of microRNA301 was 2.3530 and the sensitivity and specificity were 88.1% and 70.3%, respectively. The results of this study revealed that microRNA301 might function as a potential diagnostic biomarker for HCC.
