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

backgroundThe microRNA, miR-139-5p, plays an important role in the initiation and progression of various tumor types including osteosarcoma (OS).

objectiveThis study aimed to detect the serum miR-139-5p expression in OS and analyze its association with clinical variables.

methodsBlood samples were taken from 98 OS patients and 50 healthy individuals, and serum miR-139-5p levels were measured by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction.

resultsWe found the expression of serum miR-139-5p in OS patients was significantly lower than that in healthy individuals, and miR-139-5p levels were dramatically decreased in patients with distant metastasis or in higher clinical stage. Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) analysis revealed that serum miR-139-5p could well discriminate OS patients from healthy controls with a high sensitivity and specificity. Moreover, low serum miR-139-5p expression was strongly associated with distant metastasis, tumor stage and shorter overall survival. Both univariate and multivariate analyses showed that serum miR-139-5p level could serve as an independent prognostic marker for OS.

conclusionsTaken together, data from this study demonstrates that serum miR-139-5p could be used as a tumor biomarker for OS diagnosis and prognosis.
