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

MicroRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) are promising prognostic biomarkers in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The present study aimed to identify miRNAs that could serve as prognostic biomarkers or as novel therapeutic targets in ALL. The expression levels of 84 miRNAs were assessed in the bone marrow aspirates of 10 pediatric patients with newly diagnosed ALL at diagnosis and on day 33 of induction of the ALL Intercontinental Berlin-Frankfurt-Münster 2009 protocol, and associations with established prognostic factors were evaluated. The levels at diagnosis of 25 miRNAs were associated with ≥2 prognostic factors. Higher expression levels of let-7c-5p, miR-106b-5p, miR-26a-5p, miR-155-5p, miR-191-5p, miR-30b-5p and miR-31-5p were significantly associated with a good prednisone response. The expression levels of miR-125b-5p, miR-150-5p and miR-99a-5p were significantly higher in standard- or intermediate-risk patients compared with those in high-risk patients (P=0.017, P=0.033 and P=0.017, respectively), as well as in those with a complete response at the end of induction (P=0.044 for all three miRNAs). The change in expression levels between diagnosis and the end of induction differed significantly between risk groups for three miRNAs: miR-206, miR-210 and miR-99a (P=0.033, P=0.047 and P=0.008, respectively), with the post induction levels of miR-206 increased in high-risk patients, whilst miR-210 and miR-99a levels were increased in intermediate/standard risk patients. Therefore, miRNAs that could be integrated into the risk stratification of pediatric ALL after further evaluation in larger patient cohorts were identified.
