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

introductionMicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been linked to cancer development and progression. The molecular mechanisms underlying the genetic associations of the miRNA single nucleotide polymorphism with cancer vary by cancer site. As there are no previous studies on the miR-196a2 variant or expression in any type of cancer among our population, we aimed to determine the expression profile of mature miR-196a2 in various types of solid tumors and to analyze the impact of its polymorphism (rs11614913; C/T) on the expression levels. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe study included 230 cancer patients (including 17 types of cancer), 26 patients with pre-cancer lesions, and 100 unrelated controls. Archived formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded specimens (n = 197) were available for both miRNA expression analysis and single nucleotide polymorphism identification. Venous blood was collected from 59 histologically confirmed sporadic cancer patients and the study controls for single nucleotide polymorphism identification. Real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis was performed for allelic discrimination and relative quantification of miR-196a2 in the study samples. In silico target gene prediction and network analysis was performed.

resultsWe found that individuals with the T variant were associated with cancer risk under all genetic association models, especially in colorectal, esophageal, skin, lung, thyroid, and renal cancer. Overall and stratified analysis showed miR-196a2 over-expression in most of the current malignant tumor samples relative to their corresponding cancer-free tissues. Carriers of the C allele had significantly higher expression levels of miR-196a2. Correlation with the clinicopathological features of cancer showed organ-specific effects. Gene enrichment analysis of predicted and validated targets speculated the putative role of miR-196a2 in cancer-associated biology.

conclusionsWe highlighted cancer-type specific expression profiles of miR-196a2, which was correlated with the clinicopathological features in various types of cancer. Taken together, our results suggest that the miRNA signature could have promising diagnostic and prognostic significance.
