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

backgroundLung cancer is considered as one of the most frequent and deadly cancers with high mortality all around the world. It is critical to find new biomarkers for early diagnosis of lung cancer, especially lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC). The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) is a database which provides both cancer and clinical information. This study is a comprehensive analysis of a novel diagnostic biomarker for LUSC, based on TCGA. METHODS AND

resultsThe present study investigated LUSC-specific key microRNAs (miRNAs) from large-scale samples in TCGA. According to exclusion criteria and inclusion criteria, the expression profiles of miRNAs with related clinical information of 332 LUSC patients were obtained. Most aberrantly expressed miRNAs were identified between tumor and normal samples. Forty-two LUSC-specific intersection miRNAs (fold change >2,

conclusionThis study indicates that this novel microRNA expression signature may be a useful biomarker of the diagnosis for LUSC patients, based on bioinformatics analysis.
