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

backgroundStudy results on the prognostic value of CD11b for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients are inconsistent. An up-to-date meta-analysis was conducted to assess the prognostic value of CD11b expression level for AML patients.

methodsElectronic databases including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science and Chinese BioMedical Literature Database (CBM) were searched to identify studies that investigated the association between CD11b expression level and prognosis of AML patients. Pooled hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) and pooled odds ratio (OR) with 95% CI for complete remission rate (CRR) were calculated using Revman 5.3 and Stata 11.0.

results13 total studies with 2619 patients were included in this meta-analysis. Results of the meta-analysis showed that CD11b positivity was associated with lower CRR (OR = 0.44; 95% CI, 0.25-0.79; p = 0.006) and shorter OS (HR = 0.66; 95% CI, 0.55-0.80; p < 0.0001), but did not affect DFS (HR = 0.67; 95% CI, 0.31-1.48; p = 0.32). Subgroup analysis by ethnicity, cut-off value for CD11b positivity, treatment, subtype and sample preparation method showed no significant interaction between these factors with the prognostic value of CD11b expression level for AML patients. Sensitivity analysis yielded consistent results with the main meta-analysis.

conclusionCD11b positivity could predict a poor prognosis for AML patients. Thus, CD11b expression level might be considered a prognostic biomarker for AML patients.
