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

CD146, also known as melanoma cell adhesion molecule, was initially identified as a marker of melanoma progression and metastasis. Recently many clinical studies investigated overexpression of CD146 predict poor prognosis of solid tumor, however, the results was inconclusive, partly due to small numbers of patients included. This present meta-analysis was therefore performed utilizing the results of all clinical studies concerned to determine the prognostic value of CD146 expression in solid tumors. Relevant articles were identified through searching the PubMed, Web of Science and Embase database. In this meta-analysis, 12 studies involving 2,694 participants were included, and we drew the conclusion that strong significant associations between CD146 expression and all endpoints: overall survival (OS) [hazard ratio (HR) = 2.496, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 2.115-2.946], time to progression (TTP) (HR = 2.445, 95% CI 1.975-3.027). Furthermore, the subgroup analysis revealed that the associations between CD146 overexpression and the outcome endpoints (OS or TTP) were significant in Mongoloid patients and Caucasian patients, as well in patients with lung cancer and digestive system cancer. In conclusion, these results showed that high CD146 was associated with poor survival in human solid tumors. CD146 may be a valuable prognosis predictive biomarker; nevertheless, whether CD146 could be a potential therapeutic target in human solid tumors needs to be further studied.
