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

Great improvement has been made in the diagnosis and therapy of breast cancer patients. However, the identification of biomarkers for early diagnosis, prognosis, therapy assessment and monitoring, including drug resistance and the early detection of micro-metastases, is still lacking. Recently, circulating microRNAs (miRNAs), circulating freely in the blood stream or entrapped in extracellular vesicles (EVs), have been shown to have a potential diagnostic, prognostic or predictive power. In this review, recent findings are summarized, both at a preclinical and clinical level, related to miRNA applicability in the context of breast cancer. Different aspects, including clinical and technical challenges, are discussed, describing the potentialities of miRNA use in breast cancer. Even though more methodological standardized studies conducted in larger and selected patient cohorts are needed to support the effective clinical utility of miRNA as biomarkers, they could represent novel and accessible tools to be transferred into clinical practice.
