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

objectiveThe high mortality associated with cervical cancer is due to low uptake of Pap smear test, lack of early diagnostic biomarkers and less-invasive approach, and late presentation of the disease. This study evaluated the expression of hsa-miR-let-7b, hsa-miR-21, hsa-miR-125b, hsa-miR-143, hsa-miR-145, hsa-miR-146a, hsa-miR-155, hsa-miR-182, hsa-miR-200c, and p53 in serum and cervix in relation to classes of Pap smear, in a bid to identify a serum panel for early diagnosis of cervical lesions. METHODOLOGY: This study included 329 women; 159 healthy women (HW), 46 cervicitis, 46 atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS), 40 low-grade squamous cell intraepithelial lesion (LSIL), 28 high-grade squamous cell intraepithelial lesion (HSIL), and 10 squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) and p53 was assessed using reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction.

resultsExcept for miR-143 and miR-146a, significant correlations were observed between serum and cervix expression of miRNAs and p53 in relation to levels and classes of Pap smear (

conclusionThis study suggests that serum expression of miR-21, miR-182, let-7b, miR-145, and p53 is comparable to cervical cell expression and could be useful in differentiating abnormal cervix from the healthy cervix.
