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

Chordoma is a rare aggressive bone tumor arising from remnants of the notochord, and patients with chordoma have a poor prognosis. However, the unique expression profiles of microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) and their downstream signaling pathways in chordoma remain incompletely characterized. The aim of the present study was to delineate the global miRNA expression profile and associated signaling networks in chordoma. miRNA profiling was performed on chordoma and fetal notochord tissues. Differentially expressed miRNAs in chordoma were analyzed using microarrays with hierarchical clustering analysis. The target genes of the differentially expressed miRNAs were predicted, and Gene Ontology (GO) and pathway analyses were performed for the intersecting genes. A total of 42 miRNAs were significantly dysregulated in chordoma compared with that in fetal nucleus pulposus tissues. The expression of hsa-miR-21-3p, hsa-miR-150-5p, hsa-miR-1290 and hsa-miR-623 were validated using the reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. On the basis of the intersection predicted by three databases (Targetscan, microRNA.org and PITA), 10,292 potential miRNA targets were identified. Bioinformatic analyses suggested that these dysregulated miRNAs and their predicted targets were functions of signaling pathways in cancer, the mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway, regulation of actin cytoskeleton, focal adhesion and endocytosis. In particular, human (hsa-)miR-185-5p was identified as a crucial miRNA in chordoma development via the Wnt signaling pathway. The results of the present study provide a comprehensive expression and functional profile of differentially expressed miRNAs associated with chordoma. This profile may serve as a potential tool for biomarker and therapeutic target identification in patients with chordoma.
