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

introductionMicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small RNAs that have been associated with tumourigenesis and tumour progression and that play an important role in the pathogenesis of salivary gland neoplasms. The aim of this study was to evaluate the global miRNA expression profile in a sample of salivary gland neoplasms.

methodsCases of pleomorphic adenoma (n = 4), adenoid cystic carcinoma (n = 4) and mucoepidermoid carcinoma (n = 4) were studied by real-time RT-PCR.

resultsThe main up-regulated miRNAs were hsa-miR-373, hsa-miR-675, hsa-miR-508, hsa-miR-1290 and hsa-miR-483-3p, while hsa-miR-105 and hsa-let-7f-1 were among the most down-regulated miRNAs compared to the normal salivary gland. Hsa-miR-106b, hsa-miR-142-5p, hsa-miR-622, hsa-miR-642, hsa-miR-574-3p and hsa-miR-486 were significantly differentially expressed (p < 0.05) when each neoplasm and normal glandular tissue were compared.

conclusionThis study described the global molecular signature of miRNAs in benign and malignant salivary gland neoplasms and provided preliminary evidence of miRNA dysregulation, suggesting a potential association between specific miRNA signatures and molecular pathways implicated in tumour progression.
