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

HOXA transcript at the distal tip (HOTTIP), a functional lncRNA transcribed from the 5' tip of the HOXA locus, has been functionally characterized as an oncogene in various cancers. To further explore the clinical value of HOTTIP in cancer, we collected all relevant studies and investigated the association between HOTTIP level and lymph node metastasis (LNM) or overall survival (OS). Literature collection was conducted by searching electronic databases PubMed, Cochrane Library, OVID, Web of Science and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI)(up to July 7, 2016). Seven studies with 652 cancer patients were included in the meta-analysis according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results showed a significant positive association between HOTTIP levels and LNM (Odds ratio, OR = 2.30, 95 % CI: 1.58-3.35, p < 0.0001) in a fixed-effects model (I2 = 0 %, p = 0.949) and it could also predict poor OS in cancer patients (Hazard ratio HR = 2.24, 95% CI: 1.74-2.90, p < 0.00001) in a fixed-effects model (I2 = 0%, p = 0.925). In conclusion, this meta-analysis demonstrated that the higher expression level of HOTTIP is correlated with positive LNM and poor OS in different types of cancer and HOTTIP might serve as a novel predictor of LNM and survival in human cancer.
