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

backgroundAzacitidine (AZA) is a nucleoside analog used for treatment of myelodysplasia and the prediction of AZA responsiveness is important for the therapy management.

methodsUsing microarrays and reverse-transcription quantitative-PCR, we analyzed microRNA (miRNA) expression in bone marrow CD34+ cells of 27 patients with higher-risk myelodysplastic syndromes or acute myeloid leukemia with myelodysplasia-related changes before and during AZA treatment.

resultsAt baseline, we found that future overall response rate was significantly higher in patients with upregulated miR-17-3p and downregulated miR-100-5p and miR-133b. Importantly, the high level of miR-100-5p at baseline was associated with shorter overall survival (HR = 4.066, P= 0.008). After AZA treatment, we observed deregulation of 30 miRNAs in responders (including downregulation of miR-10b-5p, miR-15a-5p/b-5p, miR-24-3p, and miR-148b-3p), while their levels remained unchanged in non-responders.

conclusionsOur study demonstrates that responders and non-responders have distinct miRNA patterns and that the level of specific miRNAs before therapy may predict the efficacy of AZA treatment.
