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

Among the analytes circulating in body fluids, microRNAs, a type of non-coding RNA and known to exist 2655 in primates, have attracted attention as a novel biomarker for cancer screening. MicroRNAs are signaling molecules with important gene expression regulatory functions that can simultaneously control many gene functions and multiple different pathways in living organisms. These microRNAs are transported in extracellular vesicles (EVs), which are lipid bilayers with 50-150 nm in diameter, and are used as communication tools between cells. Furthermore, the EVs that carry these microRNAs circulate in the bloodstream and have other important implications for understanding the pathogenesis and diagnosis of breast cancer. The greatest benefit from cancer screening is the reduction in breast cancer mortality rate through early detection. Other benefits include reduced incidence of breast cancer, improved quality of life, prognosis prediction, contribution to personalized medicine, and relative healthcare cost containment. This paper outlines the latest developments in liquid biopsy for breast cancer, especially focusing on microRNA and EV diagnostics.
