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

backgroundReported studies on carcinoma have evaluated the significance of the microRNA miR-10b in the development and progression of many cancers. Increased expression of miR-10b is associated with the susceptibility to lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis in various tumors.

resultsThe results of the meta-analysis revealed that lymph node metastasis occurred more frequently in the patients group with high expression level of miR-10b than in the patients group with low expression level of miR-10b (OR=4.65, 95% CI: 3.40-6.37, MATERIALS AND

methodsIn this study, a meta-analysis, including the majority of the relevant articles, was conducted to investigate the association of the miR-10b expression level with metastasis in cancer patients. Systematic literature retrieval was performed by searching in a number of electronic databases. The meta-analysis was conducted using the RevMan 5.2 software and Stata SE12.0 software. A total of 962 patients with carcinoma from 9 studies were included in analysis.

conclusionsThis meta-analysis demonstrated that the overexpression of miR-10b was significantly correlated with metastasis status, and indicated the potential clinical use of miR-10b as a molecular biomarker, particularly in assessing prognosis for patients with cancers.
