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

backgroundMany novel diagnostic biomarkers have been developed for gastric cancer (GC) recently. We chose two methods with high diagnostic value, the detection of serum microRNAs and metabolomics based on gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS), and aimed to establish appropriate models.

methodsWe reviewed the diagnostic accuracies of all microRNAs identified by previous diagnostic tests. Then appropriate microRNAs and their combinations were validated the diagnostic value. We included 80 patients with GC and 82 healthy controls (HCs) and detected the expression of the microRNAs. GC/MS analysis was conducted, and we used three multivariate statistical analyses to establish diagnostic models. The concentrations of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) were detected for comparison with the novel models.

resultsSixty-seven published studies and 70 microRNAs were finally included in the systematic review. MiR-18a, miR-19a, miR-21, miR-92a, miR-199a and miR-421 were chosen to further validate their diagnostic efficiencies. Five of those microRNAs in GC patients had significantly different expression. The combination of miR-19a and miR-92a had the highest area under the curve (AUC) at 0.850 with a sensitivity of 91.3% and a specificity of 61.0%. The GC/MS analysis performed an excellent diagnostic value and the AUC reached 1.0.

conclusionThere is a good potential for microRNAs and GC/MS analysis as new diagnostic methods in view of their high diagnostic value compared with traditional biomarkers.
