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

Deregulation of microRNA (miRNA/miR) expression has been implicated in the development of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). However, the role of miR-661 in PDAC remains unknown. In the present study, it was revealed that miR-661 expression was significantly upregulated in PDAC tissues compared with that in adjacent normal tissues by using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction assays. Higher miR-661 expression revealed a positive association with lymph node metastasis, an advanced T stage and a poor prognosis in patients with PDAC. Furthermore, ectopic expression of miR-661 significantly promoted the cell proliferation ability in PDAC cell lines, and simultaneously promoted Wnt signaling pathway-related protein expression of β-catenin, transcription factor 4 and cyclin D1
