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

Extracellular vesicle‑packaged microRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of circulating miRNAs located in the plasma that are packaged into extracellular vesicles. The present study examined the expression profiles of extracellular vesicles and tissue miRNAs with the aim of investigating the miRNA signatures in early‑stage breast cancer. The present study identified and compared the extracellular vesicle‑packaged miRNA expression signature and tissue miRNA expression signature from healthy individuals (n=10) and patients with early‑stage breast cancer (n=12). A total of five miRNAs, including miRNA‑375, miRNA‑24‑2‑5p, miRNA‑548b‑5p, miRNA‑655‑3P and miRNA‑376b‑5p, were synchronized in extracellular vesicles and tissues of the breast cancer group when compared with the healthy group. The highest area under the curve (AUC) for a single miRNA was achieved with miRNA‑548b‑5p [AUC=0.785; 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.585‑0.984; P=0.022]. The highest overall AUC was achieved by the combination of miRNA‑375, miRNA‑655‑3p, miRNA‑548b‑5p and miRNA‑24‑2‑5p (AUC=0.808; 95% CI=0.629‑0.986; P=0.013). The Kaplan‑Meier curves and log test analysis results of these five miRNAs, especially those for miRNA‑548b‑5p, were partly consistent with the hypothesis. Two miRNAs (miRNA‑548b‑5p and miRNA‑376b‑5p) were positively associated with patient survival, while two miRNAs (miRNA‑375 and miRNA‑24‑2‑5p) were negatively associated with patient survival. The present study provided a set of plasma extracellular vesicle‑packaged miRNA‑based biomarkers for the diagnosis of early‑stage breast cancer.
