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

backgroundLaryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is considered to be a common malignancy of the head and neck with poor prognosis for its late diagnosis, metastasis and recurrence. Growing evidence demonstrates that the dysregulation of miR-29c-3p (microRNA-29c-3p) plays an important role in various tumor processes. Our study investigates the expression of miR-29c-3p in LSCC and analyzes the correlation of its dysregulation with clinicopathologic parameters and prognosis.

methodsThe expression of hsa-miR-29c-3p in LSCC tissues and the adjacent normal laryngeal tissues was detected in 96 LSCC formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). The SPSS statistical software package (17.0) was used to analyze the associations between miR-29c-3p expressions and various clinicopathological characteristics. The overall survival (OS) was analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test, and we analyzed the independent factor of prognosis by Cox proportional hazard analysis.

resultsA downregulation of miR-29c-3p expression in LSCC was significantly correlated with smoking index, tumor size, tumor site, differentiation, T classification, TNM stage, and lymph node metastasis (P < 0.05), but there was no correlation with age and alcohol consumption (P > 0.05). In the multivariate survival analysis, low miR-29c-3p expression was associated with shorter overall survival (P < 0.05). Furthermore, miR-29c expression was an independent prognostic factor for laryngeal cancer patients.

conclusionsMiR-29c-3p has different expression levels at different stages of tumor progression, suggesting that miR-29c-3p may be a promising biomarker for evaluating the progression of LSCC and the prognosis of patients with LSCC. MiR-29c-3p can also be a novel molecular target for anti-laryngeal cancer therapy.
