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

The present study was carried out to demonstrate the epidemiological value of microRNA (miRNA) in colorectal cancer (CRC) by investigating the association between miRNA gene polymorphisms and the susceptibility to CRC. Multiple meta-analyses of reported data were conducted, and odds ratio values and 95% confidence intervals were used to assess these associations. Stata 11.0 software was used to analyze the data and the modified Jadad quality score was employed to evaluate the quality of the retrieved studies. We retrieved 38 studies on the association between miRNA polymorphisms and risk of CRC, however only 15 met the requirements of the inclusion criteria. In conclusion, we identified a variety of miRNAs (miRNA-let-7, miR-34b/c, miR-146a, miR-603 and miR-149) gene polymorphisms that are associated with susceptibility to CRC. However, some miRNAs (miR-192a, miR-608 and miR-27a) are associated with CRC, but not susceptibility to CRC. The results have limitations given the relatively low number of studies available. Therefore, it is necessary to collect data from large sample-size studies to further validate the results.
