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

backgroundMicroRNAs, as small non-coding RNAs, play an important role in tumorigenesis. MiR-483-5p was found to have a significant increase as a diagnostic biomarker of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), not only in plasma from NPC patients but also in tumor cell lines and biopsy tissues in our previous study. However, its function and mechanism in NPC are still unclear.

methodsTissue microarray including 178 primary NPC and 35 adjacent non-cancerous nasopharyngeal mucosal tissues was used to further validate the overexpression of miR-483-5p. Wound healing and invasion assays were conducted to verify its biological function. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and dual-luciferase reporter assay was performed to explore its target, and it was verified in fresh biopsy tissues from 23 NPC patients and 9 patients with chronic nasopharyngitis.

resultsMiR-483-5p was highly expressed in NPC tissues than in adjacent non-cancerous tissues. It was found to have a significant correlation with poor overall survival (OS) [hazard ratio (HR) = 2.89, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.00-8.35,
