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

backgroundThe current study aimed to explore the association between two epigenomic components, miRNA and DNA methylation, in bladder cancer (BC).

methodsEight paired samples of tumor tissue and matched adjacent normal tissues from BC patients were subjected to methylated DNA immunoprecipitation sequencing and sRNA-Seq for differentially methylated miRNA genes and differential miRNA analysis. The miRNAs regulated by DNA methylation were screened and their functions involved in BC were analyzed using Gene Ontology (GO) and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) as well as a miRNA-mRNA interaction network.

resultsThe methylation levels of 212 genes were different between tumors and normal tissues with specific enrichment at transcription initiation and termination sites. Among these genes, 154 were hypermethylated and 58 were hypomethylated. GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis indicated that differentially methylated miRNA genes were mainly enriched in tumor-associated GO terms and signaling pathways. Pairwise statistical analysis of MeDIP-Seq and sRNA-Seq data showed that there are 154 and 165 candidate methylation-regulated genes in tumors and normal tissues, respectively. Notably, an interaction network indicated that the miRNAs regulated by methylation regulated a broad range of mRNAs associated with cancer development and progression. In particular, the most differentially expressed miRNAs were validated by qRT-PCR, such that miR-145-5p was downregulated and miR-182-5p was upregulated in patients with bladder cancer.

conclusionA large number of miRNA genes were modified by methylation in BC. Identification of changes in the expression of these miRNAs provides a great deal of important information for BC diagnosis.
