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

The co-expression of miRNAs and their target proteins was studied on tissue microarrays from different prostate cancer (PCa) patients. PCa of primary Gleason pattern 4 (GP4), lymph node metastases of GP4, distant metastases, and normal tissue from the transitional and peripheral zones were co-stained by fluorescent miRNA in situ hybridization (miRisH) and protein immunohistofluorescence (IHF). The miRNAs and corresponding target proteins include the pairs miR-145/ERG, miR-143/uPAR, and miR-375/SEC23A. The fluorescence-stained and scanned tissue microarrays (TMAs) were evaluated by experienced uropathologists. The pair miR-145/ERG showed an exclusive staining for miR-145 in the nuclei of stromal cells, both in tumor and normal tissue, and for ERG in the cytoplasm with/without co-expression in the nucleus of tumor cells. The pair miR-143/uPAR revealed a clear distinction between miR-143 in the nuclei of stromal cells and uPAR staining in the cytoplasm of tumor cells. Metastases (lymph node and distant) however, showed tumor cells with cytoplasmic staining for miR-143/uPAR. In normal tissues, beside the nuclei of the stroma cells, gland cells could also express miR-143 and uPAR in the cytoplasm. miR-375 showed particular staining in the nucleoli of GP4 and metastatic samples, suggesting that nucleoli play a special role in sequestering proteins and miRNAs. Combined miRisH/IHF allows for the study of miRNA expression patterns and their target proteins at the single-cell level.
