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

CD133 has been identified as a potential cancer stem cell (CSC) marker in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the clinical and prognostic significance of CD133 in NSCLC remains controversial. In this study, a meta-analysis with a total number of 13 studies was performed to clarify the association between CD133 expression and clinical outcomes in publications up to June 2013. Odds ratios (ORs) and their 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the association between CD133 expression and the clinicopathological characteristics of NSCLC. Hazard ratios (HRs) and their 95 % CI were used to quantify the predictive ability of CD133 on NSCLC prognosis. Analysis of these data showed that CD133 expression was not associated with any clinicopathological parameters except for histology (pooled OR = 1.35, 95%CI = 1.04-1.76, P = 0.024) and tumor differentiation (pooled OR = 3.19, 95%CI = 1.10-9.21, P = 0.032). Simultaneously, we also found that positive CD133 expression was not associated with disease-free survival (DFS) (pooled HR = 1.76, 95 % CI = 0.87-3.57, P = 0.114, random-effect) but was associated with overall survival (OS) (pooled HR = 2.06, 95 % CI = 1.08-3.91, P = 0.027, random-effect). Overall, it is appropriate to regard CD133 expression as a potential prognostic factor for the OS of NSCLC patients.
