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

Some microRNAs (miRNAs) are known to suppress breast cancer. However, whether the expressions of these tumor suppressive miRNAs translate to patient survival were not investigated in large cohort. Nine miRNAs (miR-30a, miR-30c, miR-31, miR-126, miR-140, miR-146b, miR-200c, miR-206, and miR-335) known to be tumor suppressive miRNAs in breast cancer were investigated in Genomic Data Common data portal miRNA-Seq dataset and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) (n = 1052). Of the 9 miRNAs, miR-30a, miR-30c, miR-126, miR-140, miR-206, and miR-335 were found to have significantly lower expression in breast cancer tissues compared to paired normal breast tissue. High expression of miR-30a or miR-200c was associated with significantly better overall survival (OS). Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) demonstrated that low expression levels of miR-30a had the tendency to associate with gene enrichment of EMT, while miR-200c did not, in TCGA cohort, and our findings support the need of validation using large cohort to use miRNA as prognostic biomarker for patients with breast cancer.
