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

We conducted a meta-analysis in order to investigate the relationships between PTEN gene mutations and the prognosis in glioma. The following electronic databases were searched for relevant articles without any language restrictions: Web of Science (1945 ~ 2013), the Cochrane Library Database (Issue 12, 2013), PubMed (1966 ~ 2013), EMBASE (1980 ~ 2013), CINAHL (1982 ~ 2013), and the Chinese Biomedical Database (CBM) (1982 ~ 2013). Meta-analyses were conducted using the STATA software (Version 12.0, Stata Corporation, College Station, Texas USA). Hazard ratio (HR) with its corresponding 95 % confidence interval (95%CI) was calculated. Six independent cohort studies with a total of 357 glioma patients met our inclusion criteria. Our meta-analysis results indicated that glioma patients with PTEN gene mutations exhibited a significantly shorter overall survival (OS) than those without PTEN gene mutations (HR = 3.66, 95%CI = 2.02 ~ 5.30, P < 0.001). Ethnicity-stratified subgroup analysis demonstrated that PTEN gene mutations were closely linked to poor prognosis in glioma among Americans (HR = 3.72, 95%CI = 1.72 ~ 5.73, P < 0.001), while similar correlations were not observed among populations in Sweden, Italy, and Malaysia (all P > 0.05). Our meta-analysis provides direct and strong evidences for the speculation of PTEN gene mutations' correlation with poor prognosis of glioma patients.
