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

objectiveThis research aimed at probing into miR-93-5p and miR-18a's diagnostic and prognostic values in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients.

methodsA total of 107 patients diagnosed with NSCLC in the Department of Oncology and Thoracic Surgery of our hospital from January 2015 to June 2016 were regarded as the research group (RG), and 42 healthy people were considered as the control group (CG). Serum samples were collected and miR-93-5p, miR-18a expression was detected via qPCR. The relationship between miR-93-5p, miR-18a and clinicopathological characteristics of NSCLC patients was assessed, and the diagnostic value of the two miRNAs was analyzed by ROC curve.

resultsmiR-93-5p and miR-18a were up-regulated in NSCLC. The higher the degree of tumor differentiation, the higher the TNM stage and the expression of the two miRNAs were. The high expression was tied to tumor differentiation degree, TNM stage, lymph node metastasis and lymph-vascular space invasion (LVSI). The survival rate of miR-93-5p and miR-18a high expression patients was worse than that of those with low expression. The AUC value of both of the mRNAs in NSCLC diagnosis was high (0.8905).

conclusionThe expression of miR-93-5p and miR-18a is associated with NSCLC severity and prognosis, and both can be used as potential markers for diagnosis.
