Association between microRNA 21 expression in serum and lung cancer: A protocol of systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in Medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
backgroundPrevious studies have reported that microRNA 21 (mRNA 21) has involved in the procedure of lung cancer (LC). However, its conclusions are still unclear. Thus, this study will try to elaborate the association between mRNA 21 expression in serum and LC.
methodsThe electronic databases of Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE, Allied and Complementary Medicine Database, WANGFANG database, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure will be retrieved from the inception to the present. All electronic databases will be searched without limitations of language and geographical location. Case-controlled studies reporting the association between mRNA 21 expression in serum and LC will be included. In addition, we will also identify other literature sources to avoid missing potential studies. All study selection, information collection, and study quality assessment will be performed by 2 independent authors. RevMan V.5.3 software and Stata V.12.0 software will be used for data synthesis and analysis.
resultsThis study will summarize current evidence to investigate the association between mRNA 21 expression in serum and LC.
conclusionThe findings of this study will present comprehensive evidence to determine whether mRNA 21 expression in serum is relevant with LC or not. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION: INPLASY202040055.
