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

Many studies reported that DcR3 participated in the clinicopathological characteristics of gastrointestinal cancer, however, they all included few patients and had inconsistent results. So we conducted a meta-analysis to explore the correlation between overexpression of DcR3 and the clinicopathological characteristics of gastrointestinal cancer. Identical search strategies were used to search relevant literatures in PubMed, Web of Science and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database. The prognostic significances and clinicopathological differences of DcR3 in gastrointestinal cancer were analyzed. A total of 28 studies comprising 3294 gastrointestinal cancer patients met the inclusion criteria. Overexpression of DcR3 was closely related with these clinicopathological features, including TNM stages (OR = 1.63, 95% CI 1.35-1.98), grade of differentiation (OR = 1.31, 95% CI 1.10-1.56), lymph node metastasis (OR = 2.02, 95% CI 1.66-2.47), infiltration degree (OR = 1.72, 95% CI 1.38-2.12), and metastasis (OR = 1.66, 95% CI 1.27-2.16). DcR3 may play an important role in gastrointestinal cancer, and DcR3 indicated distinct clinicopathologic features.
