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

Through a new hypothesis-driven and microRNA-pathway-based SNP (miR-SNP) association study we identified a novel miR-SNP (rs713065) in the 3'UTR region of FZD4 gene linked with decreased risk of death in early stage NSCLC patients. We determined biological function and mechanism of action of this FZD4-miR-SNP biomarker in a cellular platform. Our data suggest that FZD4-miR-SNP loci may significantly influence overall survival in NSCLC patients by specifically interacting with miR-204 and modulating FZD4 expression and cellular function in the Wnt-signaling-driven tumor progression. Our findings are bridging the gap between the discovery of epidemiological SNP biomarkers and their biological function and will enable us to develop novel therapeutic strategies that specifically target epigenetic markers in the oncogenic Wnt/FZD signaling pathways in NSCLC.
