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

Recent studies have demonstrated that deregulated microRNA (miRNA/miR) expression has a profound impact on biological and pathological processes; abnormal miR-1469 expression was detected in several human malignancies. In the present study, the clinicopathological and prognostic significance of miR-1469 was assessed in 129 patients with esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC) who successfully underwent esophagectomy and esophagogastrostomy. Low miR-1469 expression was identified to be significantly associated with tumor invasion depth (P=0.026), lymph node metastasis status (P<0.001) and pathological tumor stage (P<0.001). Survival analysis demonstrated that patients with low miR-1469 expression had significantly poorer disease-free survival (DFS) (18.2 vs. 43.2%; P=0.004) and overall survival (29.1 vs. 47.3%; P=0.029) 5 years following surgery compared with patients with high miR-1469 expression. Univariate survival analysis demonstrated that low miR-1469 expression significantly predicted unfavorable 5-year DFS among patients with N1-3 disease (7.1 vs. 31.8%; P=0.043). The results from the present study indicate that miR-1469 expression could be used in the clinic to predict ESCC progression and prognosis. This will aid in the identification of high-risk patients with ESCC that require more aggressive therapeutic interventions.
