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

backgroundThe Gleason grading system is a major tool used for prediction of prostate cancer (PCa) behavior. Because of heterogeneity and sampling errors, prognosis is variable even among patients with the same Gleason score (GS). Therefore, more accurate biomarkers that complement the Gleason system are needed to improve the clinical management of PCa.

methodsFormalin-fixed, paraffin embedded tissue samples were obtained from radical prostatectomy (RP) (patient set 1, n=53) and needle biopsy (patient set 2, n=107; patient set 3, n=119). Cancer tissues from pure regions of each Gleason pattern (GP) were separately collected using laser-captured microdissection, followed by Real-time-PCR to determine the relative expression of miRNAs, including miR-1-5p, miR-21-5p, miR-30d-5p, miR-100-5p, miR-145-5p, miR-224-5p, and miR-708-5p. miRNA's association with Gleason upgrading (GU) was evaluated using receiver operator characteristics (ROC) curve and multivariate logistic regression analysis. The integrated miRNA targets prediction and enrichment analyses were performed to determine the potential functions of miRNA.

resultsIt was found that miR-145-5p in GP3 from radical prostatectomy (RP) were overexpressed in patients with GS6 PCa compared with GS7 patients, which was further confirmed in a larger biopsy cohort. ROC curve analysis revealed that miR-145-5p in biopsy was significantly associated with GU upon RP. In multivariate analyses, miR-145-5p was an independent predictor of GU.

conclusionOur study indicated that differential expression of miRNAs existed in GP3 from pure GS6 and GS7 PCa, highlighting a path toward the clinical use of miRNAs in predicting GU and assisting in treatment modality selection.
