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

Numerous studies have proved that microRNAs (miRNAs) play crucial roles in the tumorigenesis and progression of gastric cancer (GC). Our study was to investigate the correlation between miR-338-3p expression and clinical features as well as prognosis of GC. A total of 138 GC tissue specimens and adjacent non-cancerous tissues were collected for further analysis, then quantitative PCR method was used to detect the relative miR-338-3p expression. Our study showed that tissue miR-338-3p level was greatly decreased in cancer tissues compared with paired normal tissues. Furthermore, loss of tissue miR-338-3p was positively associated with aggressive clinical characteristics (advanced clinical stage, poorer differentiation and lymph node invasion), shorter overall survival and recurrence free survival. Finally, tissue miR-338-3p expression was confirmed to be an independent prognostic factor for GC. Overall, our findings indicate that miR-338-3p acts as a tumor suppressor in GC and tissue miR-338-3p might serve as a novel prognostic biomarker of GC.
