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

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide, with high mortality. Abnormally expressed microRNAs (miRNAs) are considered novel biomarkers in cancer diagnosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic value of miR-92a-1 in patients with CRC. Serum samples were collected from 148 patients pathologically diagnosed with CRC and 68 gender- and age-matched healthy volunteers. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to measure serum miR-92a-1 level. Relationship between miR-92a-1 and clinicopathological features of CRC cases was analysed via chi-square test. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to estimate the diagnostic value of miR-92a-1 in CRC. Serum miR-92a-1 was significantly up-regulated in CRC patients compared with healthy individuals (P < .001). Moreover, miR-92a-1 expression was correlated with TNM stage (P = .02), histological stage (P = .003), lymph node metastasis (P = .003) and distant metastasis (P < .001). ROC analysis showed that the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.914, suggesting high diagnostic accuracy of miR-92a-1 in ROC. The optimal cut-off value was 1.485, with a sensitivity of 81.8% and a specificity of 95.6%. MiR-92a-1 is increased in CRC patients and correlated with aggressive clinical characteristics. Serum miR-92a-1 may be a potential diagnostic biomarker for CRC.
