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 the present study was to systematically review the role of circulating miRNAs as potential prognostic biomarkers in head and neck cancer patients. MATERIALS AND

methodsPubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, Web of Science, and gray literature from January 1990 up to and including September 2019 were searched. The study selection was performed by two independent reviewers according to eligibility criteria.

resultsA total of 13 studies that met the eligibility criteria were included. Significant number of studies were executed majorly in China and predominant number of them were case-control in nature. A total of 22 different miRNAs were found to be concomitant with very poor prognosis in cancers of the head and neck region. Of these, eighteen miRNAs (miR-375, miR-1234, miR-103, miR-638, miR-200b-3p, miR-191-5p, miR-24-3p, miR-572, miR-483-5p, miR-20a, miR-22, miR-29a, miR-29b, mir-let-7c, miR-17, miR-374b-5p, miR-425-5p, and miR-196a) were upregulated and four miRNAs (miR-9, miR-29c, miR-223, and miR-187∗) were downregulated. The hazard ratio (HR) ranged from twofold to fivefold.

conclusionBased on the results, circulating miRNA may assist in the prediction of prognosis of head and neck cancer. Further multi-center randomized controlled clinical trials with large sample size are required to validate the results of the present review. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Decoding the circulating miRNA profile could aid in accurate prognostication of head and neck cancer.
