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

backgroundMicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in the development and progression of breast cancer (BC). The purpose of the present study was to identify plasma miRNAs enabling early diagnosis of BC. MATERIALS AND

methodsExpression levels of seven plasma miRNAs (miR-23a-3p, miR-29b-2-5p, miR-130a-5p, miR-144-3p, miR-148a-3p, miR-152-3p, and miR-182-5p) in 106 patients with newly diagnosed BC and 96 healthy participants were analyzed by qRT-PCR. We also evaluated the relationship between the expression levels of these miRNAs and clinicopathological features of patients with BC.

resultsCompared with healthy controls, we found that miR-23a-3p (p = .025), miR-130a-5p (p = .006), miR-144-3p (p = .040), miR-148a-3p (p = .023), and miR-152-3p (p = .019) were downregulated in the plasma of patients with BC. MiR-130a-5p, miR-144-3p, and miR-152-3p were downexpressed in BC tissues as well as plasma. The expression of the miR-23a-3p, miR-144-3p, and miR-152-3p was related to ER positive and PR positive. Besides, miR-23a-3p, miR-144-3p, and miR-152-3p did show the significant difference in the staging compromised to the control, especially in stage I-II. Moreover, we also found that miR-144-3p and miR-148a-3p were associated with lymph node invasion.

conclusionsThe expression levels of the miR-23a-3p, miR-130a-5p, miR-144-3p, miR-148a-3p, and miR-152-3p were lower in patients with BC compared to healthy controls and were associated with ex hormone receptor, clinical stage, and lymph node metastasis, indicating the diagnostic potential of these miRNAs in BC.
