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

backgroundPapillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common endocrine malignancy and its incidence has increased over the last few decades. The molecular mechanisms underlying PTC tumorigenesis and progression are still unclear. PATIENTS AND

methodsThe microRNA (miRNA) expression patterns of PTC were revealed by miRNA microarray analysis and validated with The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data. Promoter DNA methylation rates of miR-204 were analyzed by Agena Methylation MassAR-RAY analysis and validated with TCGA data. The underlying molecular mechanisms of miR-204 involved in PTC were studied by bioinformatics analyses.

resultsA total of 181 differentially expressed miRNAs (89 downregulated and 92 upregulated miRNAs) between PTC and normal tissues were detected in this study. We identified miR-204 as one of the most significantly downregulated miRNAs in PTC. Downregulation of miR-204 was related to PTC extrathyroidal extension, high T-stage, lymph metastasis, BRAF V600E mutation, and aggressive tall cell variant. The Agena MassARRAY results indicated that 12 CpG sites located at the promoter of miR-204 were hypermethylated in PTC tissues compared to normal tissues. The promoter methylation rates of miR-204 in PTC were negatively correlated with the expression levels of miR-204 and its host gene

conclusionPromoter DNA methylation-silenced miR-204 could serve as a potential diagnostic biomarker of PTC. Downregulation of miR-204 may play an important role in PTC via its involvement in many tumor-related pathways. Novel target genes and putative mechanisms of miR-204 in PTC need to be further validated.
