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

backgroundInactivation of the tumor suppressor gene microRNA-133b is a frequent event in various malignancies including colorectal cancer (CRC). The result of our previous research has found a statistically significant downregulation of microRNA-133b expression in human CRC cells, microRNA-133b can block the growth and metastatic progression of CRC cells

methodsThe detection of microRNA-133b and epithelial transition factor between gene and protein expression was evaluated in 46 patients with CRC. The correlation among microRNA-133b, epithelial transition factor and clinicopathological parameters associated with CRC was assessed. Furthermore, the diagnostic capability of microRNA-133b and epithelial transition factor in CRC was also evaluated.

resultsThe results show decreased microRNA-133b expression in CRC tissues, and a very strong inverse correlation between the expression of oncogene epithelial transition factor and the expression of microRNA-133b. We also observed that the expression levels of microRNA-133b and epithelial transition factor were statistical associated with clinical stage and lymph node metastasis in CRC tissues, and further identified microRNA-133b and/or epithelial transition factor may be useful for distinguishing CRC patients from the normal population by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.

conclusionsmicroRNA-133b expression is inversely correlated with epithelial transition factor expression. MicroRNA-133b and/or epithelial transition factor may be useful as valuable prognostic biomarkers in CRC patients.
