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

The aim of this study was to systematically review articles that investigated the prognostic significance of different microRNAs in bladder cancer (BC). We systematically searched PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase to identify relevant studies until March 2016. After screening, 26 studies that involved 2753 patients were included. Results suggested that many miRs expression aberration may predict prognosis in patients with BC. There are six miRs (miR-21, miR-143, miR-155, miR-200, miR-214, and miR-222) were reported by at least two studies, and we performed meta-analysis in the corresponding studies. Accordingly, we found that high miR-21 expression was associated with poor overall survival [OS; hazard ratio (HR) = 3.94, 95% CI 2.08-7.44]. High miR-143 expression was associated with poor progression-free survival (PFS; HR = 3.78, 95% CI 1.61-8.89). High miR-155 expression was associated with poor PFS (HR = 8.10, 95% CI 2.92-22.48). High miR-222 expression was associated with poor OS (HR = 3.39, 95% CI 1.10-10.41). Meanwhile, low miR-214 expression was correlated with poor RFS(HR = 0.34, 95% CI 0.22-0.53). Our comprehensive systematic review concluded that microRNAs, particularly miR-21, miR-143, miR-155, miR-214, and miR-222, could serve as meticulous follow-up markers for early detection of progression or recurrence and even useful therapeutic targets for the treatment in patients with BC.
