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

BACKGROUND/

aimBreast cancer is a leading worldwide cause of female cancer-related morbidity and mortality. Since molecular characteristics increasingly guide disease management, demystifying breast tumor miRNA signature emerges as an essential step toward personalized care. This study aimed to investigate the variations in circulating miRNA expression profiles between breast cancer subtypes and healthy controls and to identify relevant target genes and molecular functions. MATERIALS AND

methodsMiRNA expression was tested by miScript™ miRNA PCR Array Human Cancer Pathway Finder kit, and subsequently, a machine learning approach was applied for miRNA profiling of the various breast cancer molecular subtypes.

resultsSerum samples from patients with primary breast cancer (n=66) and healthy controls (n=16) were analyzed. MiR-21 was the single common molecule among all breast cancer subtypes. Furthermore, several miRNAs were found to be differentially expressed explicitly in the different subtypes; luminal A (miR-23b, miR-142, miR-29a, miR-181d, miR-16, miR-29b, miR-155, miR-181c), luminal B (miR-148a, let-7d, miR-92a, miR-34c, let-7b, miR-15a), HER2+ (miR-125b, miR-134, miR-98, miR-143, miR-138, miR-135b) and triple negative breast cancer (miR-17, miR-150, miR-210, miR-372, let-7f, miR-191, miR-133b, miR-146b, miR-7). Finally, miRNA-associated target genes and molecular functions were identified.

conclusionApplying a machine learning approach to delineate miRNA signatures of various breast cancer molecular subtypes allows further understanding of molecular disease characteristics that can prove clinically relevant.
