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 with the potential as biomarkers for disease diagnosis, prognosis and therapy. In the era of big data and biomedical informatics, computer-aided biomarker discovery has become the current frontier. However, most of the computational models are highly dependent on specific prior knowledge and training-testing procedures, very few are mechanism-guided or evidence-based. To the best of our knowledge, untill now no general rules have been uncovered and applied to miRNA biomarker screening. In this study, we manually collected literature-reported cancer miRNA biomarkers and analyzed their regulatory patterns, including the regulatory modes, biological functions and evolutionary characteristics of their targets in the human miRNA-mRNA network. Two evidences were statistically detected and used to distinguish biomarker miRNAs from others. Based on these observations, we developed a novel bioinformatics model and software tool for miRNA biomarker discovery ( http://sysbio.suda.edu.cn/MiRNA-BD/ ). In contrast to routine methods that focus on miRNA synergic functions, our method searches for vulnerable sites in the miRNA-mRNA network and considers the independent regulatory power of miRNAs, i.e., single-line regulations between miRNAs and mRNAs. The performance comparison demonstrates the generality and precision of our model, which identifies miRNA biomarkers for cancers as well as other complex diseases without training or specific prior knowledge.
