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 (miRNAs) and Transcription Factors (TFs) both influence messenger RNA (mRNA) expression, disrupting biological pathways involved in carcinogenesis and prognosis. As many miRNAs target multiple mRNAs, thus influencing a multitude of biological pathways, deciphering which miRNAs are important for cancer development and survival is difficult. In this study, we (i) determine associations between TF and survival (N = 168 colon cancer cases); (ii) identify miRNAs associated with TFs related to survival; and (iii) determine if factors derived from TF-specific miRNA principal component analysis (PCA) influence survival. Cox Proportional hazard models were run for each PCA factor to determine Hazard Ratios (HR) and 95% Confidence Intervals (CI) adjusting for age, center, and AJCC stage. Thirty TFs improved survival when differential expression increased; 27 of these were associated significantly with normal colonic mucosa expression of 65 unique miRNAs when an FDR q-value of <0.05 was applied. Five factors, comprising 21 miRNAs, altered survival in rectal cancer subjects; four of these five factors improved survival and one factor reduced survival. One factor comprising four miRNAs reduced survival in colon cancer subjects. In summary, our data suggest that expression of TFs and their related miRNAs influence survival after diagnosis with colorectal cancer.
