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

purposeCirculating microRNAs (miRNAs) have shown the potential for non-invasive diagnosis of various types of malignancies at an early stage. The aim of the study was to explore the feasibility of a combination of 8 serum miRNAs related to non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with the corresponding serum exosomal miRNAs in early diagnosis for the patients with NSCLC.

methodsWe measured 8 serum miRNAs and the corresponding serum exosomal miRNAs including miR-21-5p, miR-126-3p, miR-141-3p, miR-146a-5p, miR-155-5p, miR-222-3p, miR-223-3p, and miR-486-5p in 48 patients with early NSCLC at stages I/II, 32 patients with lung benign lesion (LBL), and 48 healthy control (HC) by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).

resultsThe expression levels of 4 serum miRNAs including miR-21-5p, miR-141-3p, miR-222-3p, and miR-486-5p, and 2 serum exosomal miRNAs including miR-146a-5p and miR-486-5p in the early NSCLC group were significantly different from that in the LBL group and the HC group (

conclusionThis study suggests that serum exosomal miRNAs other than serum miRNAs might be preferable biomarkers for the patients with NSCLC at early stages, and a combination of serum miRNAs with serum exosomal miRNAs contributes to the further improvement of early diagnosis for NSCLC.
