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

The role of hypoxia-inducible factors-1 alpha (HIF-1α) expression in gastric cancer remains controversial. We performed a systematic review of the literature with meta-analysis. Electronic databases were used to identify published studies before December 1, 2012. Pooled hazard ratio (HR) or odds ratio (OR) with 95 % confidence interval (95 % CI) was used to estimate the strength of the association between HIF-1α expression and survival of gastric cancer patients. Heterogeneity and publication bias were also assessed. Final analysis of 1,268 patients from 9 eligible studies was performed. High HIF-1α expression was significantly correlated with poor overall survival (OS) of gastric cancer patients (HR = 2.14, 95 % CI = 1.32-3.48). Subgroup analysis indicated that HIF-1α over-expression had an unfavorable impact on OS in Asian patients (HR = 2.35, 95 % CI = 1.41-3.92). Moreover, up-regulation of HIF-1α was significantly associated with the depth of invasion (OR = 2.49, 95 % CI = 1.28-4.83), lymph node metastasis (OR = 2.15, 95 % CI = 1.27-3.66), and vascular invasion (OR = 2.23, 95 % CI = 1.20-4.14). HIF-1α expression might be a predicative factor of poor prognosis for gastric cancer particularly in Asia.
