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

Breast cancer affects ~10% of women worldwide and is responsible for ~12% of all cancer-associated mortalities. Breast cancer is more prone to metastasis compared with other types of cancer. Up to 5% of patients with breast cancer present with incurable metastasis and an additional 10-15% of patients develop metastases within 3 years of their initial diagnosis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short RNAs, 21-25 nucleotides in length, that have been shown to significantly affect gene expression. In total >2,000 miRNAs have been identified and specific miRNAs have been revealed to be associated with cancer. In the present study, we observed that the majority of breast cancer specimens collected expressed low levels of miR-202 compared with adjacent tissues and normal cell lines. Mechanistic investigations identified KRAS as a potential target gene of miR-202 and it was demonstrated that miR-202 exerted its tumor-suppressive effects by regulating the expression of KRAS in breast cancer cells. Functional assays revealed that miR-202 significantly reduced cell proliferation, migration and invasion
