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

This study aims to identify prognostic microRNAs (miRNAs) biomarkers for diagnosis and survival of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) based on large patients cohort analysis. HCC patient cohort data were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas, including paired HCC and adjacent non-cancer tissues. Receiver operating characteristic curve method was used to classify cancer and non-cancer tissues according to microRNAs expression levels. The aberrant microRNAs expression level were ranked and risked for building a prognostic miRNAs signature model. Kaplan-Meier survival was used to analyze the differences among various risk factors in accordance with miRNAs ranking scores. The study showed 33-miRNA signature, 11 were down-regulated and 22 were up-regulated through comparison between cancer samples and non-cancer samples. The maximum correct classification rate is up to 98.7%. Five microRNAs, hsa-mir-3677, hsa-mir-421, hsa-mir-326, hsa-mir-424 and hsa-mir-511-2, significantly correlated with patient survival. The survival rate and time negatively associated with lowering miRNAs index. In the low risk group, over 70% patients showed 5 years survival, while none patients survived longer than 5 years in the high risk group. MiR-424, miR-326 and miR-511 could be applied for HCC diagnostic biomarkers. These five miRNAs were significantly associated with lysosome pathway and D-Glutamine and D-glutamate metabolism pathway via Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis and Gene Ontology annotation. Conclusively, the five miRNAs expression signature could be used as HCC prognostic and diagnostic biomarkers.
