Identification of Neck Lymph Node Metastasis-Specific microRNA-Implication for Use in Monitoring or Prediction of Neck Lymph Node Metastasis.
Article in Cancers, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have attracted attention as non-invasive cancer biomarkers in various cancers; however, they have not been adequately investigated in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). This study investigated the diagnostic performance of serum-derived miRNAs at initial diagnosis for primary neck lymph node metastasis and the predictive performance for late neck lymph node metastasis based on long-term (up to approximately 8 years) follow-up of patients with OSCC. The expression of miRNAs in 40 patients with OSCC was quantified using real-time PCR (qPCR), and a comprehensive statistical analysis of the correlation of miRNA expression for primary and late neck lymph node metastases was performed. For the diagnosis of primary neck lymph node metastases, miR-423 and miR-125 were accurate. The miRNA index for primary metastasis diagnosis (miR-PM) calculated by regression analysis showed high diagnostic accuracy. The miR-5100 was useful for predicting late neck lymph node metastases. The miRNA index for late metastasis prediction (miR-LM) calculated using regression analysis showed high prediction accuracy. MiRNAs were useful for diagnosing primary neck lymph node metastases in OSCC and predicting late neck lymph node metastases. It may help to consider individualized treatment, including follow-up, surgical methods, and postoperative management.
