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

Changes in microRNA (miRNA) expression may lead to cancer development and/or contribute to its progression; however, their role in uterine sarcomas is poorly understood. Uterine sarcomas (US) belong to a rare class of heterogeneous tumors, representing about 1% of all gynecologic neoplasms. This study aimed to assess the expression profile of 84 cancer-related miRNAs and to evaluate their correlation with clinical pathological features. Eighty-two formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples were selected. In leiomyosarcoma (LMS), there was an association of lower cancer-specific survival (CSS) with the downregulation of miR-125a-5p and miR-10a-5p, and the upregulation of miR-196a-5p and miR-34c-5p. In carcinosarcoma (CS), lower CSS was associated with the upregulation of miR-184, and the downregulation of let-7b-5p and miR-124. In endometrial stromal sarcomas (ESS), the upregulation of miR-373-3p, miR-372-3p, and let-7b-5p, and the down-expression of let-7f-5p, miR-23-3p, and let-7b-5p were associated with lower CSS. Only miR-138-5p upregulation was associated with higher survival rates. miR-335-5p, miR-301a-3p, and miR-210-3p were more highly expressed in patients with tumor metastasis and relapse. miR-138-5p, miR-146b-5p, and miR-218-5p expression were associated with higher disease-free survival (DFS) in treated patients. These miRNAs represent potential prediction markers for prognosis and treatment response in these tumors.
