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

objectivePrevious studies related to the prognostic value of E-Cadherin expression on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were inconsistent. The present study aimed to evaluate the relation between E-Cadherin expression and the prognosis of NSCLC.

methodsWe performed a meta-analysis based on 14 studies including 2395 NSCLC patients. Literature retrieval, data extraction, and meta-analyses were performed according to the Revman 5.0 guidelines. We utilized the fixed-effect model to pool the HR according to the test of heterogeneity in the meta-analysis.

resultsA total of 14 eligible studies including 2395 NSCLC patients were analyzed. In total, 51.2% of the patients were considered as having reduced expression of E-Cadherin according to the authors' cutoff. The pooled hazard ratio (HR) of reduced expression of E-Cadherin for overall survival (OS) was 1.19 (95% CI: 1.01 to 1.40, P=0.04), showing a worse survival when E-Cadherin expression is decreased.

conclusionPatients with reduced expression of E-cadherin have a poorer OS compared with those with normal or high expression of E-cadherin.
