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

aimThe purpose of the present study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of serum miR-4534 combined with Transvaginal Color Doppler Ultrasound (TVCDS) in cervical cancer patients.

methodsBlood samples from 126 patients with cervical cancer and 83 patients with benign uterine lesions were retrospectively analyzed. Quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was applied to examine the relative abundances of serum miR-4534 in cervical cancer based on a case-control study. Chi-square test was adopted to analyze the association between serum miR-4534 and other clinicopathological factors. The blood flow of cervix was examined using TVCDS, and the blood flow resistance index (RI) of cervix was summarized. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted to explore the diagnostic capacity of serum miR-4534 combined with blood flow RI. Logistic regression was employed to analyze the risk factors of cervical cancer.

resultsSerum miR-4534 was distinctly increased in the study group compared with the control group (P < 0.05), while blood flow RI was dramatically decreased (P < 0.05). Moreover, increased miR-4534 was closely associated with lymph node metastasis (P = 0.010), FIGO stage (P = 0.007) and HR-HPV (P = 0.025). ROC curves demonstrated that the area under curve (AUC) of serum miR-4534 combined with the blood flow RI was 0.854, with the sensitivity and specificity of 88.9% and 73.5%, respectively, which displayed a better diagnostic capacity than serum miR-4534 and blood flow RI alone. Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that serum miR-4534 (OR = 8.805, 95% CI = 4.124-18.798; P < 0.001) was a risk factor related to the initiation and formation of cervical cancer, as well as blood flow RI (OR = 0.112; 95% CI = 0.054-0.235; P < 0.001).

conclusionSerum miR-4534 was highly expressed in cervical cancer, and associated with the development and metastasis of cervical cancer patients. MiR-4534 combined with TVCDS exhibited a considerable biomarker to detect cervical cancer patients.
