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

backgroundCirculating microRNAs (miRNAs) have been suggested as novel markers for various diseases. The goal of this pilot study was to identify circulating miRNAs differentially expressed comparing Barrett's esophagus (BE), esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), and controls.

methodsMicroRNA expression profiling was performed by qPCR array using plasma from six controls and eight BE and eight EAC patients. Validation was performed by analyzing the expression of six selected miRNAs, by qRT-PCR in 115 plasma samples of controls, BE, and EAC patients. Diagnostic accuracy was evaluated by area under the curve (AUC) analysis.

resultsWe identified three miRNAs that were elevated in EAC and four miRNAs that were elevated in BE. Further validation showed that miRNA-382-5p was significantly increased and miRNA-133a-3p significantly decreased in EAC. miRNA-194-5p and miRNA-451a were significantly increased and miRNA-136-5p significantly decreased in BE versus controls. A combination of three or more miRNAs was found to have a good diagnostic performance in discriminating BE from controls (AUC: 0.832), EAC from controls (AUC: 0.846), and BE from EAC (AUC: 0.797).

conclusionOur data suggest that circulating miRNAs are differentially expressed in BE and EAC. The miRNAs identified may be used for future non-invasive screening of BE and EAC.
