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

purposeRecent studies have investigated remodeling and spacing factor 1 (Rsf-1) as a molecular marker in various solid tumors. However, whether or not Rsf-1 exerts a negative or positive effect on the survival of patients with solid cancers remains controversial. Therefore, this study aims to determine whether or not Rsf-1 may be a predicative marker of poor prognosis and aggressive tumor progression.

methodsWe conducted a meta-analysis of 11 cohort studies (n = 1620 patients) to evaluate the relationship between Rsf-1 and clinical outcome. We included studies with data on overall survival (OS), disease-specific survival (DSS), recurrent-free survival (RFS), metastasis-free survival (MFS), and hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

resultsHigh Rsf-1 expression was significantly associated with poor survival in solid tumors. Overall, the combined HR for OS was 1.49 (95% CI = 1.21-1.84, P < 0.001), DSS 3.07 (95% CI = 1.67-5.62, P < 0.001), RFS 2.51 (95% CI = 1.12-5.63, P = 0.025), and MFS 2.14 (95% CI = 1.49-3.06, P < 0.001). In addition, Rsf-1 overexpression was significantly associated with tumor stage (OR = 4.13, 95% CI = 2.84-6.00, P < 0.001), primary tumor (OR = 2.09, 95% CI = 1.58-2.75, P < 0.001), nodal status (OR = 1.95, 95% CI = 1.40-2.72, P < 0.001), and histological grade (OR = 3.09, 95% CI = 2.10-4.54, P < 0.001).

conclusionsRsf-1 may be a predicative marker of poor prognosis and aggressive tumor progression.
