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

The significance of promoter mutations of microRNAs (miRNAs) in lung cancer is poorly understood. Recent evidence demonstrated that miRNA-7 (miR-7), a unique member of the miRNA family, exhibited decreased expression and has emerged as an important regulator in lung tumorigenesis. However, the mechanism underlying the downregulation of miR-7 in lung cancer remains largely unknown. In this study, we investigated the sites of mutation of the miR-7 promoter in lung cancer tissues using DNA sequencing. We identified a G→C change at the -617 site (25/39, 64.1%) and an A→G change at the -604 site (20/39, 51.3%) in the miR-7 promoter region in lung cancer tissues. Moreover, the expression of miR-7 in cancer tissue with promoter site mutations was lower compared with that in cancer tissue without mutations (P<0.05). Furthermore, we demonstrated that mutations at these sites may decrease the activity of the miR-7 promoter and alter the expression of miR-7. Notably, mutations at these sites of the miR-7 promoter were found to be closely associated with poor prognosis of lung cancer patients (P=0.037). These data may provide novel insight on the altered expression of specific miRNA molecules in lung cancer and ultimately prove to be helpful in the development of prognostic and therapeutic strategies against lung cancer.
