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

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common type of renal cell carcinoma, and the absence of symptoms in the early stages makes metastasis more likely and reduces survival. To aid in the early diagnosis of ccRCC, we recently developed a method based on urinary miR-122-5p, miR-1271-5p, and miR-15b-5p levels and three controls. The study here presented aimed to validate the previously published method through its application on an independent cohort. The expression of miRNAs in urine specimens from 28 ccRCC patients and 28 healthy subjects (HSs) of the same sex and age was evaluated by RT-qPCR. Statistical analyses were performed, including the preparation of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. The mean ccRCC diameter in ccRCC patients was 4.2 ± 2.4 mm. Urinary miRNA levels were higher in patients than in HSs. The data were processed using the previously developed algorithm (7p-urinary score), and the area under the curve (AUC) of the algorithm's ROC curve was 0.81 (
