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

Cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) inhibitors have emerged as novel treatment options in the management of advanced or metastatic breast cancer. MicroRNAs are endogenous non-coding 19-22-nucleotide-long RNAs that regulate gene expression in development and tumorigenesis. Herein, we systematically review all microRNAs associated with response to CDK4/6 inhibitors in solid tumors and hematological malignancies. Eligible articles were identified by a search of the MEDLINE and ClinicalTrials.gov databases for the period up to1 January 2021; the algorithm consisted of a predefined combination of the words "microRNAs", "cancer" and "CDK 4/6 inhibitors". Overall, 15 studies were retrieved. Six microRNAs (miR-126, miR-326, miR3613-3p, miR-29b-3p, miR-497 and miR-17-92) were associated with sensitivity to CDK4/6 inhibitors. Conversely, six microRNAs (miR-193b, miR-432-5p, miR-200a, miR-223, Let-7a and miR-21) conferred resistance to treatment with CDK4/6 inhibitors. An additional number of microRNAs (miR-124a, miR9, miR200b and miR-106b) were shown to mediate cellular response to CDK4/6 inhibitors without affecting sensitivity to treatment. Collectively, our review provides evidence that microRNAs could serve as predictive biomarkers for treatment with CDK4/6 inhibitors. Moreover, microRNA-targeted therapy could potentially maximize sensitivity to CDK4/6 inhibition.
