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 and Aim: It is reported that miRNAs play an important role in hepatocellular carcinogenesis and may serve as non-invasive biomarkers for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). MiR-4510 and miR-146b-5p expression levels have been found to be associated with HCC. However, their associations with hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related HCC (HBV-HCC) are yet to be explored. We aimed to assess the predictive value of expression levels of serum miR-4510 and miR-146b-5p in patients with HBV-HCC and performed bioinformatics analyses based on the miRNA expression profile. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study used the serum of 16 patients with Chronic Hepatitis B (CHB), 15 hepatitis B virus-related cirrhosis (HBV-cirrhosis), 15 HBV-HCC, and 16 healthy subjects. The total RNA was isolated from serum, and the expression of miRNAs was measured by qRT-PCR, calculated using the 2 Results: There was a significant difference in miR-146b-5p between study groups (p=0.009). MiR-146b-5p expression was found to be significantly reduced in HBV-HCC compared to the HBV-cirrhosis group and healthy controls (p=0.005 and p=0.006, respectively). Conclusion: The serum miR-146b-5p levels might be a promising tool to be used as a non-invasive diagnostic biomarker for HCC. Our findings shed light on potential biomarkers for the diagnosis of HBV-HCC in terms of selected miRNAs. The target pathways of miR-146b-5p identified by our in-silico analysis to reveal the functional mechanism are "MAPK signaling pathways" and "Pathways in cancer."
