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

Thyroid cancer is one of the most common endocrine malignancies. Multiple evidences revealed that a large number of microRNAs and mRNAs were abnormally expressed in thyroid cancer tissues. These microRNAs and mRNAs play important roles in tumorigenesis. In the present study, we identified 72 microRNAs and 1,766 mRNAs differentially expressed between thyroid cancer tissues and normal thyroid tissues and evaluated their prognostic values using Kaplan-Meier survival curves by log-rank test. Seven microRNAs (miR-146b, miR-184, miR-767, miR-6730, miR-6860, miR-196a-2 and miR-509-3) were associated with the overall survival. Among them, three microRNAs were linked with six differentially expressed mRNAs (miR-767 was predicted to target COL10A1, PLAG1 and PPP1R1C; miR-146b was predicted to target MMP16; miR-196a-2 was predicted to target SYT9). To identify the key genes in the protein-protein interaction network , we screened out the top 10 hub genes (NPY, NMU, KNG1, LPAR5, CCR3, SST, PPY, GABBR2, ADCY8 and SAA1) with higher degrees. Only LPAR5 was associated with the overall survival. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that miR-184, miR-146b, miR-509-3 and LPAR5 were an independent risk factors for prognosis. Our results of the present study identified a series of prognostic microRNAs and mRNAs that have the potential to be the targets for treatment of thyroid cancer.
