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

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in the pathogenesis of diverse types of malignancies, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, miR-365 has rarely been reported in HCC. The purpose of the current study was to identify the clinical relevance of miR-365 in HCC and examine the potential downstream signaling effectors.Using real-time RT-qPCR, we confirmed that miR-365 expression was markedly decreased in HCC tissues (3.5138 ± 2.2527) compared to that in paraneoplastic liver tissues (6.5950 ± 4.1230, P<0.001). Receiver operating characteristic curves to assess the diagnostic value of miR-365 in HCC demonstrated that the area under the curve was 0.757. Furthermore, down-regulation of miR-365 was remarkably correlated to the number of tumor nodes, status of metastasis, clinical TNM stage, portal vein tumor embolus and vaso-invasion. In addition to the clinical value of miR-365, a total of 238 downstream direct targets selected by online predictive algorithms and key genes generated from natural language processing and the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) were pooled for bioinformatics analysis. These potential targets were mainly enriched in the Ras Pathway using PANTHER analysis and the 'Pathways in Cancer' using Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis. In conclusion, down-regulated miR-365 may contribute to the progression and metastasis of HCC via targeting multiple signaling pathways, and miR-365 may act as a novel biomarker for HCC.
