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

Tremendous progress has been made in recent years towards the understanding, prevention and management of malignant disease, yet cancer remains a leading cause of global mortality and morbidity. Current approaches towards combating this disease include prevention, early detection and various treatment modalities. However, even with implementation of novel therapeutic options and preventative measures, most cancers are currently diagnosed at late stages, when treatment therapies are least effective. In a recent study published in BMC Medicine, Tan et al. performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to show that fascin-1, an actin-bundling protein, is associated with increased risk of mortality and metastasis in various cancer types. Although the study examined the association of fascin-1 with mortality, time-to-disease progression, lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis in five major cancer types, the clinical implications of these findings are still unclear and many unanswered questions remain.Please see related research article here http://www.biomedcentral.com/1741-7015/11/52.
