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

Numerous studies have shown that microRNA (miRNA) serves as key regulatory factors in the origin and development of cancers. However, the biological mechanisms of miRNAs in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC) are still unknown. It is necessary to construct an effective miRNA-clinical model to predict the prognosis of KIRC. In this study, 94 differentially expressed miRNAs were found between para-tumor and tumor tissues based on the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Seven miRNAs (hsa-miR-21-5p, hsa-miR-3613-5p, hsa-miR-144-5p, hsa-miR-376a-5p, hsa-miR-5588-3p, hsa-miR-1269a, and hsa-miR-137-3p) were selected as prognostic indicators. According to their cox coefficient, a risk score formula was constructed. Patients with risk scores were divided into high- and low-risk groups based on the median score. Kaplan-Meier curves analysis showed that the low-risk group had a better survival probability compared to the high-risk group. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) value of the miRNA model was 0.744. In comparison with clinical features, the miRNA model risk score was considered as an independent prognosis factor in multivariate Cox regression analysis. In addition, we built a nomogram including age, metastasis, and miRNA prognostic model based on the results of multivariate Cox regression analysis. The decision curve analysis (DCA) revealed the clinical net benefit of the prognostic model. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) results suggested that several important pathways may be the potential pathways for KIRC. The results of Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis for the target genes of 7 miRNAs revealed that miRNAs may participate in KIRC progression via many specific pathways. Additionally, the levels of seven prognostic miRNAs showed a significant difference between KIRC tissues and adjacent non-tumorous tissues. In conclusion, the miRNA-clinical model provides an effective and accurate way to predict the prognosis of KIRC.
