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

MicroRNAs (miRs) are small non-coding RNAs that play important roles in cell differentiation and survival. Abnormal expression of miRs has been demonstrated in numerous types of cancer, including acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). The aim of the present study was to evaluate miR-181 expression at diagnosis and following the completion of chemotherapy in AML patients, with regard to clinical response and outcome, particularly in patients treated with azacitidine. miR-181 expression was analysed using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction in 95 bone marrow specimens from newly diagnosed AML patients and in 20 healthy subjects for comparison. The results revealed upregulated miR-181 expression in the total cohort of AML patients, which was correlated with longer survival. However, in a subset of older AML patients treated with azacitidine, low miR-181 expression at diagnosis was a predictor for complete remission and prolonged survival. The findings indicated that miR-181 has an important role in AML and determines response to azacitidine treatment in older AML patients.
