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

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small endogenous non-coding genes that play important roles in post-transcriptional regulation as well as other important biological processes. Accumulating evidence indicated that miRNAs were extensively involved in the pathology of cancer. However, determining which miRNAs are related to a specific cancer is problematic because one miRNA may target multiple genes and one gene may be targeted by multiple miRNAs. The authors proposed a new approach, named miR_SubPath, to identify cancer-associated miRNAs by three steps. The targeted genes were determined based on differentially expressed genes in significant dysfunctional subpathways. Then the candidate miRNAs were determined according to miRNA-genes associations. Finally, these candidate miRNAs were ranked based on their relations with some seed miRNAs in a functional similarity network. Results on real-world datasets showed that the proposed miR_SubPath method was more robust and could identify more cancer-related miRNAs than a prior approach, miR_Path, miR_Clust and Zhang's method.
