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

Sarcoma is a rare cancer with several subtypes; therefore, our understanding of the pathogenesis of sarcoma is limited, and designing effective treatments is difficult. Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs), including exosomal miRNAs, have attracted attention as biomarkers in cancer. However, the roles of miRNAs and exosomes in sarcoma remain unclear. The present analysis of tissue and serum miRNA expression in osteosarcoma, Ewing's sarcoma and dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS) identified miR-1246, -4532, -4454, -619-5p and -6126 as biomarkers for DDLPS. These miRNAs were highly expressed in human DDLPS cell lines and exosomes, suggesting that they are secreted from DDLPS tissues. The present results suggested that specific miRNAs may be used as biomarkers for early diagnosis or treatment targets in DDLPS.
