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

purposeMicro ribonucleic acids (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNA molecules that control the expression of target mRNAs. Many miRNAs are dysregulated in various cancers, acting as tumor suppressors or oncogenes. This study aims to investigate the regulatory status of miRNA-320a-3p and miRNA-136-5p in cervical cancer development as well as their predictive significance for treatment response and disease recurrence. MATERIALS AND

methodsIncluded in the study were 51 cervical cancer patients and 19 healthy controls. Expression levels of miRNA-320a-3p and miRNA-136-5p were detected using miRNA-specific quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The relative expression of miRNAs was calculated using the 2

resultsmiRNA-136-5p was downregulated in the cervical cancer patients compared to the controls (fold change: -3.06, p = 0.000239). In the case group, upregulation of miRNA-320a-3p was significantly associated with a poor treatment response (fold change: 1.88, p = 0.0264). Additionally, higher expression of miRNA-320a-3p was observed in patients with locoregionally confined recurrence both in the evaluation based on initial recurrence patterns (fold change: 1.38, p = 0.0341) and at last follow-up (fold change: 2.56, p = 0.000582).

conclusionmiRNA-136-5p can be proposed as a biomarker in cervical tumorigenesis, while miRNA-320a-3p can be used for treatment response and locoregional recurrence prediction.
