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

objectiveThe aim of this study was to investigate the function and prognostic value of miR-638 in renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

methodsExpression of miR-638 in RCC tissues and corresponding noncancerous tissues were examined by reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). To explore the effects of miR-638 on cell migration, invasion, viability, and apoptosis of RCC cells, wound scratch, transwell, MTT, CCK-8, and flow cytometry assays were performed. Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses were used to evaluate the relationship between miR-638 expression and prognosis of RCC patients. Potential target genes of miR-638 were predicted and validated via multiple bioinformatics analyses.

resultsmiR-638 was upregulated in RCC tissues when compared with corresponding noncancerous tissues (

conclusionsThe results of this study demonstrated that miR-638 functions as an oncogene in RCC and has the potential to be a prognostic biomarker for RCC.
