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

miR-126 has been identified both as a tumor suppressor and an oncogene in different types of cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic impact of miR-126-expression in colon cancer patients. Tumor tissue from 452 patients operated for stage I-III colon cancer was retrospectively collected and tissue microarrays were constructed. miR-126 expression was evaluated by in situ hybridization and analyzed using digital pathology. To isolate the compartment specific contribution of miR-126, tumor and adjacent tumor stroma were considered separately. In univariate analyses, high expression of miR-126 in tumor and stroma was related to increased disease-specific survival (p < 0.001 and p = 0.005, respectively). In multivariate analyses, high miR-126 expression in tumor remained a significant independent predictor of improved disease-specific survival (HR = 0.42, CI 0.23-0.75, p = 0.004). Within different TNM-stages there was a tendency towards the same results, but with statistically significant results in stage II only (p = 0.007). High expression of miR-126 is an independent positive prognostic factor in stage I-III colon cancer. This finding may be used to identify patients in need of adjuvant chemotherapy.
