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

This study is aimed at thoroughly exploring the expression status, clinical significance, and underlying molecular mechanism of miRNA-33a-5p in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC). Here, we detected miRNA-33a-5p in 20 samples from patients with LUSCs and 20 matching non-LUSC specimens by in-house quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR). Relationship between miRNA-33a-5p expression and clinicopathological traits was investigated from materials derived from miRNA sequencing and miRNA microarrays. A pool standard mean difference (SMD) and summary receiver operating characteristic curves (SROC) were calculated to evaluate the integrated expression value of miRNA-33a-5p in LUSC. Twelve online platforms were applied to select potential target genes of miRNA-33a-5p. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of LUSC and the candidate target genes of miRNA-33a-5p were overlapped to acquire a set of specific genes for further analyses of the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), Gene Ontology (GO), and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network. miRNA-33a-5p overexpressed in LUSC was supported by 706 LUSC and 261 non-LUSC samples gathering from RT-qPCR, miRNA-seq, and public miRNA microarrays. The pooled SMD was 0.56 (95% CI: -0.01-1.05), and the area under the curve (AUC) of the SROC was 0.78 (95% CI: 0.74-0.82). A total of 240 genes were identified as potential target genes of miRNA-33a-5p for functional enrichment analyses; the results suggested that these target genes may participate in several vital biological processes that promote the proliferation and progression of LUSC. miRNA-33a-5p may play an essential role in the occurrence and development of LUSC by targeting hub genes (ETS1, EDNRB, CYR61, and LRRK2) derived from the PPI network. In summary, our results indicated that miRNA-33a-5p may contribute as a prospective therapeutic target in LUSC.
