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

objectiveThe aim of this study was to identify prognostic significance of microRNA-100 (miR-100) in solid tumor.

methodsLiterature search was conducted in databases such as PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science, using the following words "(microRNA-100 OR miR-100 OR mir100) AND (tumor OR neoplasm OR cancer OR carcinoma OR malignancy)." The search was updated up until July 10, 2016. Newcastle-Ottawa scale was used to evaluate the quality of studies. Pooled hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) for patients' survival was calculated by using a fixed-effects or a random-effects model on the basis of heterogeneity. Subgroup analysis, sensitive analysis, and meta-regression were used to investigate the sources of heterogeneity. Publication bias was evaluated by using Begg's and Egger's tests.

resultsA total of 16 articles with 1,501 patients were included in the present meta-analysis. It was demonstrated that a lower expression of miR-100 plays a negative role in the overall survival (OS) of patients with solid tumor (HR =1.92; 95% CI =1.25-2.94). In addition, the association between miR-100 and prognosis was also revealed in the following subgroups: non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC; HR =2.46; 95% CI =1.98-3.06), epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC; HR =2.29, 95% CI =1.72-3.04), and bladder cancer (BC; HR =4.14, 95% CI =1.85-9.27).

conclusionThis meta-analysis indicates that lower expression of miR-100 is related to poorer OS in patients with solid tumor, especially in those with NSCLC, EOC, and BC. MiR-100 is a promising prognosis predictor and may be a potential target for therapy in the future.
