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

Objective MicroRNA-154 (miR-154) was previously reported to be downregulated in several types of human cancers and may act as a tumour suppressor. This study aimed to measure miR-154 levels and determine its clinical significance in human glioma. Methods This retrospective study analysed fresh human glioma specimens and non-neoplastic brain tissues using real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction to determine the relative levels of miR-154. The association between miR-154 levels and various clinicopathological characteristics and survival was analysed. Results A total of 115 patients with gliomas and 115 non-neoplastic brain tissues were examined. MiR-154 levels were significantly downregulated in gliomas compared with non-neoplastic brain tissues. Low levels of miR-154 were associated with high World Health Organization grade, large tumour size (≥ 5 cm), a low Karnofsky performance status score (< 80), and a shorter overall survival. Multivariate analyses using the Cox proportional hazards regression model confirmed that decreased miR-154 level was an independent predictor of a poor prognosis. Conclusions These results suggest that miR-154 downregulation may be involved in glioma formation and progression, and that miR-154 might serve as a potential prognostic biomarker for patients with this disease.
