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

Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the most malignant gastrointestinal tumors and the 5-year survival is only 9%. The expression of miRNAs in serum has been proved to be related to tumorigenesis and development of cancers. The miRNA targets and gene targets were predicted in microRNA.org, miRDB, TargetScan, and RNAInter. The expression data of STK31 (Serine/Threonine Kinase 31) and miRNAs generated from PC samples was from TCGA and the relationship of expression of STK31 and miR-543 was confirmed in PC samples from our center. Double luciferase reporter gene assay was used to demonstrate the direct binding between miR-543 and STK31. The effect of expression level of miRNAs on survival time was assessed by Kaplan-Meier curves. The Go Ontology (GO) and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis of miR-543-related genes were performed. The results showed that miR-543 had a statistically significant correlation with the expression of STK31 and contained the direct binding site with STK31. The expression level of miR-543 may affect the survival of PC. The results of GO and KEGG pathway analysis showed that miR-543 might play a key role in Insulin signaling pathway. MiR-543 could be combined with STK31 and affect the expression of STK31. The expression of miR-543 could also predict the survival of patients with PC, which suggested that miR-543 might play an important role in PC. The GO and KEGG pathway analysis also displayed that miR-543 was involved in several other pathways of pancreas.
