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

backgroundThe purpose of this study was to explore the clinical value of miR-378c and its target gene YY1 in gastric cancer.

methodsThe TCGA database was employed to analyse miR-378c expression in gastric cancer. qRT-PCR was applied to identify miR-378c and YY1 in tissues and serum of patients suffering from gastric cancer. The association of miR-378c with the clinical data of patients with gastric cancer was analysed. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis was used to determine the diagnostic value of miR-378c and YY1 in gastric cancer, and analyse the relationship between miR-378c and YY1 and patients' survival. Pearson's test was applied to determine the association between miR-378c and YY1 in tissue and serum of patients. Dual-Luciferase Reporter assay was employed to examine the targeting association between miR-378c and YY1. Finally, independent prognostic factors was determined in patients with gastric cancer using Cox regression analysis.

resultsIn the TCGA database, miR-378c was weakly expressed in gastric cancer. Overall, patients with low expression had a lower survival rate. The expression of miR-378c decreased and the expression of YY1 increased in cancer tissues and serum of tumour patients. In patients with low expression of miR-378c the tumour size was ≥ 5 cm. Low differentiation, high TNM staging and lymph node invasion rate increased significantly, but the 5-year survival rate decreased in the patients. miR-378c and YY1 had better diagnostic value in gastric cancer. TargetScan, miRDB, starBase and miRTarBase predicted that YY1 was a potential gene of miR-378c, and the Dual-Luciferase Reporter assay revealed that there was a targeting relationship between the two, which was proved by correlation analysis. Multivariate Cox analysis revealed that differentiation, TNM staging and miR-378c were independent prognostic factors for patients.

conclusionsMiR-378c is weakly expressed in gastric cancer patients and may be considered as a promising diagnostic and prognostic indicator for gastric cancer.
