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) have been shown to be closely related to cancer progression. Traditional methods for discovering cancer-related miRNAs mostly require significant marginal differential expression, but some cancer-related miRNAs may be non-differentially or only weakly differentially expressed. Such miRNAs are called dark matters miRNAs (DM-miRNAs) and are targeted through the Pearson correlation change on miRNA-target interactions (MTIs), but the efficiency of their method heavily relies on restrictive assumptions. In this paper, a novel method was developed to discover DM-miRNAs using support vector machine (SVM) based on not only the miRNA expression data but also the expression of its regulating target. The application of the new method in breast and kidney cancer datasets found, respectively, 9 and 24 potential DM-miRNAs that cannot be detected by previous methods. Eight and 15 of the newly discovered miRNAs have been found to be associated with breast and kidney cancers, respectively, in existing literature. These results indicate that our new method is more effective in discovering cancer-related miRNAs.
