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

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a rare tumor which requires a multimodality approach for its diagnosis. Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) is currently the most commonly used tumor marker for CCA; nevertheless, it has certain limitations which need to be considered when using it as a tumor marker. MiRNA-150 altered expression has been linked to the development and tumorigenesis of several cancers including CCA. This work aimed to study the serum level of CA19-9 and miRNA-150 expression in CCA patients and, also, to correlate their levels with tumor staging and different studied clinical and laboratory parameters. This work included 35 patients with CCA who were admitted to Hepatobiliary Unit, Alexandria Main University Hospital (Group I). Also, 35 age- and sex-matched healthy subjects were included as a control group (Group II). All included subjects were submitted to measurement of serum CA19-9 and MiRNA-150 expression levels. Serum CA19-9 levels showed an evident high median among CCA patients, while serum miRNA-150 expression levels were evidently low among those patients. Moreover, combining miRNA-150 with CA19-9 made the accuracy of diagnosis of CCA much more reliable. Thus, miRNA-150 can be considered as a non-invasive, sensitive serum biomarker for the diagnosis of CCA especially when combined with CA 19-9.
