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

Breast cancer is one of the commonest cancers among Algerian females. Compared to Western populations, the median age of diagnosis of breast cancer is much lower in Algeria. The objective of this study is to explore the expression of several miRNAs reported to be deregulated in breast cancer. The miRNAs miR-21, miR-125b, miR-100, miR-425-5p, miR-200c, miR-183 and miR-182 were studied on tumor and normal adjacent Algerian breast tissues using quantitative reverse transcription real time PCR, and the results were analyzed according to clinical characteristics. Compared to the normal adjacent tissues, miR-21, miR-183, miR-182, miR-425-5p and miR-200c were found to be upregulated while miR-100 and miR-125b were insignificantly deregulated. A positive correlation was noted among miR-183, miR-182 and miR-200c and among miR-425-5p, miR-183, miR-200c and miR-21. Further global miRNA microarray profiling studies can aid in finding ethnic specific miRNA biomarkers in the Algerian breast cancer population.
