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

This study aimed to explore novel microRNAs in plasma for predicting chemoresistance in adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with gastric cancer (GC). We used the Toray 3D-Gene microRNA array-based approach to compare preoperative plasma microRNA levels between GC patients with and without recurrences after curative gastrectomy. All patients underwent adjuvant chemotherapy with S-1, an oral fluoropyrimidine. Of 2566 candidates, six candidate microRNAs (miR-1229-3p, 1249-5p, 762, 711, 1268a and 1260b), which were highly expressed in the preoperative plasma of patients with subsequent recurrences, were selected. In a large-scale validation analysis by quantitative RT-PCR, we focused on high plasma levels of miR-1229-3p, which was an independent poor prognostic factor for recurrence free survival (P = 0.009, HR = 3.71). Overexpression of miR-1229-3p in GC cells induced significant chemoresistance to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), up-regulation of thymidylate synthase (TS) and dihydroprimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) and down-regulation of SLC22A7 both in vitro and in vivo. Intraperitoneal injection of miR-1229-3p in mice induced significant chemoresistance to 5-FU, accompanied by high levels of miR-1229-3p in plasma and tumor tissue. These findings suggest that plasma miR-1229-3p might be a clinically useful biomarker for predicting chemoresistance to S-1 and selecting other or combined intensive chemotherapy regimens in GC patients.
