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

Breast cancer is a major health threat to women globally. Many circulating microRNAs are non-invasive cancer biomarkers. In this study, the expression of miR-29b and miR-31 was assessed in blood samples from 200 patients with breast cancer and wholesome volunteer women using quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR to evaluate their role in the disease. MiR-29b was significantly overexpressed in patients compared to controls. Multivariate regression analysis showed that it was an established risk factor for relapse and mortality. MiR-31 was significantly under-expressed in patients. It was an established risk factor for relapse and was strongly associated with mortality. For the prediction of relapse, miR-29b had a sensitivity of 81.25% and a specificity of 88.24% at a cutoff of > 30.09, while miR-31 had a sensitivity of 87.50% and a specificity of 79.41% at a cutoff of 0.12. The specificity was enhanced to 100% by combining the values of miR-29b and miR-31. In predicting mortality, miR-29b exhibited a sensitivity of 90% and a specificity of 97.5% at a cutoff of > 48.10. At a cutoff of 0.119, miR-31 exhibited a sensitivity of 87.50% and a specificity of 79.41%. High miR-29b expression and low miR-31 expression were linked with a low survival rate. MiR-29b and miR-31 could be useful markers for predicting breast cancer relapse and mortality.
