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

Long Non-Coding RNAs (lncRNAs), with diagnostic and therapeutic applications in malignancies, are newly described tumour-related molecules. Here, we reported the importance of circulating DSCAM-AS1 as the biomarker to detect Estrogen Receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer (BC) cases. Moreover, the expression of a BC-associated lncRNAs, namely DSCAM-AS1, was measured in tumoural and Paired Adjacent Non-Tumoral (PANT) tissue, as well as plasma, using Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR). Besides, the correlations between gene expression and the clinicopathological features were analyzed. The diagnostic power of circulating DSCAM-AS1 in BC was estimated using the Area Under the Curve (AUC) value. Furthermore, we studied the DSCAM-AS1 associated with the network of competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) in BC using the literature review and in silico analysis. We found a significant increase in the expression levels of lncRNA in the tumour (P < 0.001) and in plasma (P < 0.001) of ER-positive BC patients. The sensitivity and specificity of DSCAM-AS1 in plasma for detection of BC from healthy controls were 100 and 97%, respectively (AUC = 0.98, P < 0.001). Accordingly, we suggest an elevated level of circulating DSCAM-AS1 as a candidate biomarker of ER-positive BC patients. Moreover, perturbation of DSCAM-AS1, as a ceRNA, acts in the tumor progression and drug resistance by affecting different cell signaling.
