MicroRNA Signatures Associated with Basal Cell Carcinoma Subtypes.
Article in JID innovations : skin science from molecules to population health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is classified histologically into subtypes that determine treatment decisions. MicroRNAs (miRs) are short noncoding RNAs that may serve as diagnostic biomarkers. We investigated if particular miRs could distinguish BCC subtypes. We sequenced miRs from 55 archival BCC and 9 control skin specimens and then validated these miRs by qRT-PCR assay on a second BCC cohort (18 superficial, 16 nodular, 15 infiltrative) and control skin (n = 12). Expression values for individual miRs were normalized to miR-16-5p, which was the least variant among the control skin and BCC samples. We found that (i) miR-383-5p and miR-145-5p are downregulated in all BCC subtypes compared with control skin, (ii) miR-181c-5p is downregulated in superficial compared with invasive (nodular/infiltrative) BCC, and (iii) miR-22-5p and miR-708-5p are upregulated in infiltrative compared with superficial/nodular BCC and miR-30c-5p is downregulated in infiltrative compared with nodular BCC. Receiver operating characteristic analysis demonstrated excellent capacity of these miRs to discriminate between BCC and control skin (area under the curve, 0.94-0.98), whereas the capacity to discriminate between superficial and invasive subtypes was less robust (area under the curve, 0.7-0.8). Future prospective studies may determine the utility of these miRs as diagnostic biomarkers to guide biopsy and treatment of BCC.
