Downregulated circulating microRNAs after surgery: potential noninvasive biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis of early breast cancer.

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.
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
Success in curing breast cancer largely depends on the stage at diagnosis. Circulating microRNAs are becoming a promising noninvasive biomarker. We postulate that a postoperative decline in circulating microRNAs might have diagnostic and prognostic value. Applying high-throughput microarrays, we screened the dysregulated microRNAs in paired serum samples before and after surgery. The relative concentrations of putative markers between the early breast cancer and cancer-free groups were evaluated in the training set and verified in the validation set. Sensitivity, specificity, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to assess diagnostic value. Survival analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier estimates and a Cox proportional hazards model. Five microRNAs significantly reduced after surgery were selected for the training set. We found that miR-130b-5p, miR-151a-5p, miR-206, and miR-222-3p were significantly higher in the breast cancer group. Each of the four microRNAs had potential diagnostic value. The combined four microRNAs (training set: area under the curve (AUC) 0.8457; validation set: AUC 0.9309) had better diagnostic value than each single microRNA. MiR-222-3p was an independent prognostic factor for disease-free survival (HR = 13.19; 95% CI, 1.06-163.59;
