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) are small non-coding RNAs that act as critical regulators of gene expression by repressing mRNA translation. The role of miRNAs in cell physiology spans from cell cycle control to cell proliferation and differentiation, both during development and in adult tissues. Accordingly, dysregulated expression of miRNAs has been reported in several diseases, including cancer, where miRNAs can act as oncogenes or oncosuppressors. Of note, miRNA signatures are also under investigation for classification, diagnosis, and prognosis of cancer patients. Brain tumours are primarily associated with poor prognosis and high mortality, highlighting an urgent need for novel diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic tools. Among miRNAs investigated in brain tumours, miR-326 has been shown to act as a tumour suppressor in adult and paediatric brain cancers. In this review, we describe the role of miR-326 in malignant as well as benign cancers originating from brain tissue. In addition, since miR-326 expression can be regulated by other non-coding RNA species, adding a further layer of regulation in the cancer-promoting axis, we discuss this miRNA's role in targeted therapy for brain cancers.
