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

The role of microRNA (miRNA)-452-5p in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) remains unclear. Therefore, the present systematic study was performed to investigate the clinical significance and the rudimentary mechanism of the function of miR-452-5p in LUSC. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases were utilized to confirm the expression level and clinical value of miR-452-5p in LUSC. Using online databases and bioinformatic software, gene ontology (GO), pathway and protein-protein interaction (PPI) analyses of miR-452-5p target genes were performed to examine the molecular mechanism of miR-452-5p. The association between the expression of miR-452-5p and that of its hub genes was verified using TCGA. Based on TCGA data on 387 clinical specimens, the expression of miR-452-5p in LUSC was significantly increased compared with adjacent lung tissues (7.1525±1.39063 vs. 6.0885±0.35298; P<0.001). The expression levels of miR-452-5p were significantly correlated with age (P=0.001) and tumor-node metastasis stage (P=0.028). Furthermore, the increased expression of miR-452-5p in LUSC compared with non-cancerous tissue [standard mean deviation (SMD), 0.372; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.020-0.724; z=2.07; P=0.038] was validated by a meta-analysis of 720 clinical samples. The GO and pathway analyses revealed that miR-452-5p target genes were mainly enriched in the 'regulation of transcription', 'nucleoplasm', 'protein binding' and 'cell cycle' pathways. A total of 10 hub genes were identified by PPI analysis, and 5 hub genes (SMAD4, SMAD2, CDKN1B, YWHAE and YWHAB) were significantly enriched in the 'cell cycle' pathway. The expression of CDKN1B was negatively correlated with miR-452-5p (P=0.003). It was concluded that miR-452-5p may serve an essential role in the occurrence and progression of LUSC by targeting CDKN1B, which is involved in the cell cycle.
