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

This study investigated whether microRNA-183 and microRNA-141 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) lesions are potential risk factors for poor prognosis. A total of 317 NPC patients admitted to Zhengzhou Central Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University from January 2010 to March 2015 were included. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the expression of microRNA-183 and microRNA-141 in lesions and adjacent tissues, and the relationship between the microRNA-183 and microRNA-141 expression levels and prognosis was analyzed. The expression levels of microRNA-183 and microRNA-141 in lesions were significantly higher than those in adjacent tissues (p<0.05). Patients with distant metastasis had significantly higher expression levels of microRNA-183 and microRNA-141 than patients without distant metastasis (p<0.01). Patients with disease-free survival (DFS) <3 years showed significantly higher expression levels of microRNA-183 and microRNA-141 than those with DFS ≥3 years (p<0.01). NPC patients with high expression levels of microRNA-183 and microRNA-141 showed poor prognosis. MicroRNA-183 and microRNA-141 may play an important role in the distant metastasis of NPC, and have a great impact on prognosis.
