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

Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) is a tumor marked by an indolent growth for which few prognostic factors and therapeutic strategies are actually available. Different studies have recently appraised well-differentiated thyroid cancers are characterized by a dysregulation in different microRNA sets; however, only few of them investigated the role of miRNA expression in MTCs. In this study, we have assessed the miR-375 expression in a series of 130 MTCs (104 are sporadic and 26 familial) with a median follow-up of 39 months (range 1-138) and then we have correlated our results with the clinical-pathological features and the patients' outcome.Moreover, we have appraised YAP1 (Yes-associated protein 1) immunohistochemical expression in the same MTC series and in 5 C-cells hyperplasia (CCH) samples as well. We observed a significant upregulation of miR-375 in all MTCs, when compared to the normal thyroid tissues. Besides, miR-375 expression was found to be closely linked to neoplastic size, a chance of thyroid capsule infiltration, the risk of lymph node metastasis, and the staging of the tumor. At the end of follow-up, only 10% (13/130) showed a tumor progression and a higher miR-375 expression was found to be closely linked to a worst patient' outcome. On the contrary, YAP1 immunohistochemical expression was sharply downregulated in tumors, whereas it was weakly expressed in CCHs. Our results suggest miR-375 plays a central role in MTC progression and, therefore, we seek following the idea that miR-375 pathway may be an effective target in novel MTC therapeutic strategies.
