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

Radiotherapy has been the major treatment strategy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), while the occurrence of radioresistance may lead to cancer recurrence or progression. This study aimed to identify the key microRNAs (miRNAs) and their target genes in the development of NPC radioresistance. Public microarray data were searched and analyzed to screen the differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) and genes (DEGs) between radioresistant and radiosensitive NPC samples. MiRNA-mRNA networks were constructed. As a result, 5 DEMs and 195 DEGs were screened out. The DEGs were enriched in various signaling pathways, such as Cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, Jak-STAT signaling pathway, and Toll-like receptor signaling pathway. Several hub genes, such as IGF2, OLA1, BBS10, MMP9, and BBS7 were identified. A regulatory miRNA-mRNA network containing 87 miRNA-mRNA pairs was constructed. Then, 14 key miRNA-mRNA pairs that contained the hub genes were further filtered out. In the networks, miR-203a-3p had the largest number of target genes. Afterwards, the candidate pairs (miR-203a-3p/BTK and miR-484/OLA1) have been verified by a qRT-PCR assay. In summary, we identified several miRNAs and hub genes via big data screening. A total of 87 miRNA-mRNA pairs (including 14 key pairs) were predicted to play a crucial role in the development of NPC radioresistance. These data provide a bioinformatics basis for further exploring the molecular mechanism of radiotherapy resistance in NPC. Future studies are needed to validate the results.
