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 (miRs) serve important roles in cancer genesis and progression. The expression of miR-1908 has been reported in a number of types of cancer; however, the clinical significance of miR-1908 in human ovarian cancer (OC) remains unclear. A total of 491 patients with OC from The Cancer Genome Atlas project cohort were selected and divided into two groups according to the median expression level of miR-1908. Univariate and multivariate analyses, using the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression, were performed to identify the characteristics that predict OC prognosis. Bioinformatics tools were used to identify potential targets of miR-1908. It was identified that the low expression of miR-1908 is associated with a poor prognosis for OC (P<0.05). The potential target genes of miR-1908 included podocan-like 1, JunB AP-1 transcription factor subunit, homeobox B8, SET binding factor 1 and sirtuin 2; high expression of these five genes additionally predicted a poor prognosis. These results suggest that miR-1908 may be a suitable target for the development of novel approaches in OC diagnosis and therapy in the future.
