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

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the sixth most prevalent malignancy worldwide, with high incidence and poor survival rates. Increased expression of microRNA-205-5p (miR-205-5p) may influence the outcomes of HNSCC, but the identities of miR-205-5p target genes and the potential signaling pathways related to HNSCC remain unclear. RT-qPCR was used to detect the expression levels of miR-205-5p in the plasma of patients with HNSCC. We also performed a meta-analysis using data from relevant literature, and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) databases to evaluate the expression level of miR-205-5p in HNSCC. Next, we predicted the potential miR-205-5p target genes in HNSCC. We also used Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) for enrichment analyses adapted to investigate the dynamics and possible mechanisms of miR-205-5p in HNSCC. Lastly, we predicted the potential miR-205-5p target genes by evaluating their expression level and using Spearman analysis. Expression of miR-205-5p was higher in HNSCC tissues compared to normal unafflicted tissue samples (P < 0.05), and the corresponding summary receiver operating characteristic (sROC) was 0.82.The pooled sensitivity, specificity, PLR, NLR, and DOR values were 0.78 (95% CI: 0.75-0.81), 0.67 (95% CI: 0.60-0.73), 2.34 (95% CI: 1.45-3.76), 0.34 (95% CI: 0.19-0.60), and 8.16 (95% CI: 4.01-16.64), respectively. Based on GO and KEGG analyses, we found that miR-205-5p was correlated with the progression of HNSCC through association with signaling pathways, including the drug metabolism-cytochrome P450 pathway. Analysis of the target genes revealed that flavin-containing monooxygenase isoform 2 (FMO2) and alcohol dehydrogenase 1B (ADH1B) may be important targets of miR-205-5p. In summary, miR-205-5p may have a significant role in the prognosis of HNSCC and may serve as a potential biomarker in HNSCC.
