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

backgroundNon-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains the most life-threatening cancer in the world. The aim of the current study was to investigate the value of miR-452 for the prognosis of patients with NSCLC.

methodsReal-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to test the expression level of miR-452 in 161 paired clinical NSCLC tissues and their adjacent tissues. Survival curves were made and the log rank test was used to analyze the survival difference between both groups with higher and lower expression level of miR-452. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were finally used to determine the independent factors for overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) times.

resultsThe miR-452 expressions in tumor samples (n=161) were comparably lower than those in the adjacent tissues. miR-452 expression levels were significantly associated with tumor differentiation grade, tumor size and lymph nodes metastasis. Furthermore, Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed that patients with higher expression of miR-452 was confirmed to have more favorable OS (P=0.004) and DFS (P=0.026). Multivariate survival analysis verified that miR-452 expression level, as well as lymph nodes metastasis, was an independent predictor of both OS and DFS for NSCLC patients.

conclusionsOur study demonstrated that miR-452 functioned as a novel diagnostic biomarker and a promising prognostic predictor for NSCLC patients.
