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

backgroundAltered expressions of miR-186, miR-494 and miR-3651 in whole blood of OSCC patients have already been demonstrated. However, nothing is known about their expression in tumor tissues. This study aimed at evaluating differences in miRNA expression in OSCC tissues compared to healthy oral mucosa and at checking if the altered expression is reflected in corresponding blood.

methodsIn 53 OSCC and 40 healthy mucosal tissues the expression of miR-186, -494 and -3651 was determined by RT-qPCR and expression levels were compared between the groups. The altered expression in tissues was compared with that determined for corresponding blood. MiR-3651 target genes were identified using TargetScan software.

resultsDifferential expression of miR-186 and miR-494 could not be observed in tumor tissues compared to normal mucosa (pmiR-186= 0.13; pmiR-494= 0.35). Contrary to the detected upregulation of the miR-3651 in the blood of OSCC patients, a significant downregulation was observed in OSCC tissues. A significant correlation between underexpression and diagnosis was ascertained (p= 0.0001). 1710 possible target genes of miR-3651 were identified.

conclusionsDecreased expression of miR-3651 in OSCC tissues may be a diagnostic biomarker. The opposite change in expression level in the blood might indicate different functions of this miRNA in circulation and tissue.
