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

We studied the relationship of the levels of microRNA group expression and methylation with clinical and pathomorphological parameters of breast cancer and its immunohistochemical status. Quantitative methylation specific PCR analysis showed a significant (p<0.001) increase in the methylation level of 4 microRNA genes (MIR127, MIR129-2, MIR132, and MIR148A) and a significant (p<0.001) decrease for gene MIR375 relative to paired histologically normal tissue. Real-time PCR analysis revealed a significant (p≤0.001) decrease in the expression of 4 microRNAs (miR-127-5p, miR-129-5p, miR-132-3p, and miR-148a-3p) and a significant (p≤0.001) increase in the expression of miR-375-3p. A significant (rs=-0.6--0.7, p≤0.001) relationship between changes in the expression level of miR-129-5p, miR-132-3p, miR-148a-3p, and miR-375-3p and the levels of methylation of the corresponding genes in breast cancer was showed by using Spearman's rank correlation test. Analysis of the samples with consideration of the pathophysiological characteristics of the tumor revealed two significant markers of tumor progression: MIR129-2/miR-129-5p and MIR375/miR-375-3p. Both factors, the increase in the level of MIR129-2 methylation (p<0.001) and a decrease in the expression level of miR-129-5p (p<0.001), are significantly associated (p<0.001) with stage III/IV and the absence of HER2 expression. For MIR375/miR-375-3p, on the contrary, an association of low methylation level and enhanced expression with increased Ki-67 level (>30%, p<0.05) was revealed. These findings are of interest for understanding the mechanisms of breast cancer development and can provide the basis for the diagnosis and prognosis of the course of this disease. Moreover, the revealed features can be useful for adjusting the course of treatment with consideration of the pathophysiological characteristics of the tumor.
