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

backgroundMany studies have reported that the expression level of lncRNA H19 was increased in various tumors. LncRNA H19 may play a significant role in cancer occurrence and development. An increased level of H19 was also associated with poor clinical outcomes of cancer patients.

results12 eligible studies were screened, with a total of 1437 cancer patients. From the results of meta-analysis, as for prognosis, the patients with high expression of lncRNA H19 were shorter in OS (HR=1.08, 95% CI: 1.05-1.12). Statistical significance was also showed in subgroup meta-analysis stratified by the cancer type, analysis type and sample size. In addition, the patients detected with high H19 expression may be poorer in DFS (HR=1.27; 95% CI = 0.97-1.56). As for clinicopathology, it showed that increased H19 was related to poor histological grades (OR=2.31, 95% CI: 1.12-4.75), positive lymph node metastasis (OR=2.29, 95 % CI: 1.21-4.34) and advanced clinical stage (OR=4.83, 95% CI: 3.16-7.39). MATERIALS AND

methodsEligible studies were collected by retrieving keywords in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, CNKI and Wanfang database, from 1966 to April 23, 2016. This quantitative meta-analysis was performed with Stata SE12.0 and RevMan5.3 software. It aimed to explore the association between H19 expression level and prognosis and clinicopathology.

conclusionsLncRNA-H19 may be a novel molecular marker for predicting solid tumors. It can also be a predictive factor of clinicopathological features in various cancers. Further studies are needed to verify the clinical utility of H19 in human cancers.
