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

backgroundThe microRNA (miR)-302 family consisting four members, miR-302a, miR-302b, miR-302c and miR-302d, plays an important role in diverse biological processes, and regulates many pathological changes, including cancer. However, the involvement of the miR-302 family into human gastric cancer (GC) remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression patterns of miR-302a/b/c/d and determine their clinical significance in GC. MATERIALS AND

methodsExpression levels of miR-302a/b/c/d in 160 pairs of human GC and matched normal mucosa tissues were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Then, the associations of miR-302a/b/c/d expression with various clinicopathological characteristics and patients' prognosis were statistically evaluated.

resultsThe expression levels of miR-302a, miR-302b and miR-302c in GC tissues were all significantly lower than those in matched normal mucosa (all P < 0.001), but miR-302d expression had no significant differences between cancer and normal groups. Additionally, GC patients with low miR-302a, miR-302b and miR-302c expression more frequently had positive lymph node metastasis (all P < 0.05), advanced TNM stage (all P < 0.05) and great depth of invasion (all P < 0.05). More importantly, low miR-302a, miR-302b and miR-302c expression in GC tissues were significantly associated with shorter disease-free and overall survivals of GC patients (all P < 0.05). Further multivariate analysis identified miR-302a, miR-302b and miR-302c as independent prognostic markers for GC patients.

conclusionsGC patients with the decreased expression of miR-302a, miR-302b and miR-302c may had aggressive cancer progression and unfavorable prognosis. Further rigorous validation based on a large cohort of clinical cases should be performed.
