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

objectiveDeregulation of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) is involved in the initiation and progression of cancer. LncRNA DLX6-AS1 is regarded as an oncogene in many cancer types. However, the clinical role of serum exosomal lncRNA DLX6-AS1 in cervical cancer (CC) is poorly known. This study aimed to analyze the diagnostic and prognostic value of serum exosomal lncRNA DLX6-AS1 in CC.

methodsA total of 114 patients with CC, 60 patients with CIN (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia), and 110 healthy women were enrolled in this study. Real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was performed to measure the serum exosomal lncRNA DLX6-AS1 levels in all participants.

resultsSerum exosomal lncRNA DLX6-AS1 level was significantly elevated in CC patients compared with CIN patients and normal controls. In addition, high serum exosomal lncRNA DLX6-AS1 expression was positively associated with lymph node metastasis, differentiation, FIGO stage, and shortened survival. Patients with high serum exosomal lncRNA DLX6-AS1 expression were more prone to have a relapse. Furthermore, univariate and multivariate analyses suggested that serum exosomal lncRNA DLX6-AS1 was a potential prognostic indicator for overall survival of CC patients.

conclusionsThese findings demonstrated that serum lncRNA DLX6-AS1 might serve as a promising marker for the diagnosis and prognosis prediction of CC.
