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

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) were recently implicated in modifying the transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) signaling in multiple cancers. However, TGF-β-derived miRNAs and their potential clinical significance remain largely unexplored in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). In this study, we proposed an integrated framework that enables the identification of TGF-β-derived miRNAs in ICC (termed "TGFmitor"). A total of 36 TGF-β-derived miRNAs were identified, of which nine significantly correlated with overall survival (OS) and aberrantly expressed in ICC. According to these miRNAs, we discovered and validated a TGF-β associated miRNA signature (TAMIS) in GSE53870 (n =63) and TCGA-CHOL (n =32). To further confirm the clinical interpretation of TAMIS, another validation based on qRT-PCR results from 181 ICC tissues was performed. TAMIS was proven to be an independent risk indicator for both OS and relapse-free survival (RFS). TAMIS also displayed robust performance in three cohorts, with satisfactory AUCs and C-index. Besides, patients with low TAMIS were characterized by superior levels of CD8+ T cells infiltration and PD-L1 expression, while patients with high TAMIS possessed enhanced CMTM6 expression. Kaplan-Meier analysis suggested CMTM6 could further stratify TAMIS. The TAMIS
