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

backgroundMultiple myeloma is an incurable hematologic malignancy. The discovery of mechanisms may help to find new therapeutic targets and prolong survival. tRNA-related fragments (tRF) and tRNA halves (tiRNA) are small RNA derived from tRNAs and implicated in a wide variety of pathological processes, including cancer initiation and progression. However, there are almost no research reporting the role of these tRNA derived fragments in myeloma as far as we know.

methodsIn this study, we proposed the expression profiles of tRFs/tiRNAs in myeloma through RNA-sequencing in new diagnosed myeloma and healthy donors. The expression of selected tRFs/tiRNAs was further validated in clinical specimens by qPCR. Bioinformatic analysis was performed to predict their potential roles in multiple myeloma.

resultsA total of 33 upregulated tRFs/tiRNAs and 22 downregulated tRFs/tiRNAs were identified. GO enrichment and KEGG pathway analysis were performed to analyze the functions of one significantly up-regulated and one significantly down-regulated tRNA-derived fragments. tRFs/tiRNAs may be involved in MM initiation and progression.

conclusionWe concluded that tRFs/tiRNAs were dysregulated and could be potential biomarkers for multiple myeloma.
