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

backgroundmiR-126 functions as a tumor suppressor in gastric cancer (GC), however, the clinical significance of serum miR-126 in GC remains unclear.

objectiveTo investigate the associations of serum miR-126 level with the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of GC patients.

methodsQuantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was performed to examine the expression levels of miR-126 in 338 GC patients' tissues and sera, and 50 healthy controls' sera. The associations of serum miR-126 with clinicopathological characteristics and clinical outcome were evaluated.

resultsCompared with the matched adjacent non-tumor tissues and normal sera, miR-126 expression was significantly down-regulated in both tumor tissues and sera of GC patients. Importantly, there was a positive correlation between tissue and serum levels of miR-126 in GC patients. A reduced serum miR-126 level statistically correlated with aggressive clinicopathological characteristics, such as larger tumor size, deeper local invasion, more lymph node metastasis, advanced TNM stage, and poorer prognosis. Notably, multivariate analysis identified reduced serum miR-126 level as an independent predictor for the unfavorable prognosis of GC.

conclusionsThese results indicate for the first time that serum miR-126 may serve as a novel prognostic biomarker in GC.
