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

aimTo achieve a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms of microRNA expression changes involved in hepatocellular carcinoma.

methodsIn this research process, patients were not treated with antivirals, immunosuppressants or immunomodulators for at least 6 mo before collecting serum. The study population was composed of 35 outpatient hepatitis B virus (HBV) cases and 12 healthy control cases from the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University (Inner Mongolia, China) from July 2013 to April 2014. The 35 HBV cases were divided into two groups: a hepatocirrhosis group with 20 cases and a liver cancer group with 15 cases. All 35 cases carried HBsAg. The diagnostic criteria followed the European Association for the Study of the Liver 2012 (EASL2012) standards. MicroRNA (miRNA) was extracted from a control group of patients, a group with hepatocirrhosis and a group with liver cancer and its quality was analyzed using the human V2 microRNA expression beadchip. Cluster analysis and a radar chart were then applied to the miRNA changes.

resultsThe miRNA-qualified rate of human serum samples was 93%. The concentration of a single sample was > 200 ng/μL and the volume was > 5 μL. All miRNA serum samples were uncontaminated by the genome. The Mann-Whitney test showed significant differences in miRNA between each group, with a detection P-value of < 0.05. Illumina software was set up with Diff Score set to ± 13, meaning that P = 0.001.There were significant changes in miRNA expression between the three groups. miRNA-183 was the most up-regulated, followed by miRNA-373. miRNA-129 and miRNA-188 were both strongly down-regulated and miRNA-378 was down-regulated a small amount. The liver cancer group had greater changes, which indicated that changes in miRNA expression levels were caused by hepatocirrhosis. The liver cancer disease course then further increased these changes. In the pentagon created by these five miRNAs, three groups showed significant deviation. The liver cancer group had a bigger deviation trend. The chart indicated that miRNA expression changes occurred in the hepatocirrhosis group, which increased in the liver cancer disease course and were irreversible.

conclusionThere was a significant relationship between the irreversible up-regulation of miRNA-183/373 and down-regulation of miRNA-129/188/378 and incidences of hepatocirrhosis and liver cancer.
