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 TNM staging remains the gold standard for determining the prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC), which is inadequate at identifying the subset of high-risk stage II and III patients that have a high potential of developing tumor recurrence and may experience death. Emerging evidence indicates that not only microRNAs (miRNAs) play important functional role in CRC development but may serve as important disease biomarkers. In this study we aimed to develop a miRNA-based classifier as a prognostic signature for improving the clinical outcome of patients with stage II/III CRC.

methodsWe performed a systematic and comprehensive discovery step to identify differentially expressed miRNAs in CRC. We subsequently determined the prognostic relevance of these miRNAs in stage II/III patients using qRT-PCR and developed a miRNA-based classifier for predicting disease-free survival (DFS) in a clinical cohort (n=186).

resultsBased upon miRNA expression profiling studies, we identified a panel of 10 miRNAs which are consistently differentially expressed in CRC

conclusionsOur miRNA-based classifier is a reliable predictive tool for determining prognosis in patents with stage II/III CRC, and might be able to identify high-risk patients that are candidates for more targeted personalized clinical management and surveillance.
