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

objectiveNon-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a leading cause of cancer-related death. Growing evidence from recent studies have shown indicated that microRNA-126 (miR-126) played an important role in the progression of NSCLC. However, the potential value of miR-126 expression in prognosis of NSCLC remains to be fully elucidated. Here, we carried out a meta-analysis to assess the potential prognostic value of miR-126 for NSCLC.

methodsPubMed, Embase, the Cochrane library, Web of Science, CNKI and WanFang database, as well as the reference of included studies, were searched to recognize pertinent studies until April 30, 2017. New castle-Ottawa scale was used to evaluate the quality of studies. Pooled hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) for overall survival (OS) was extracted by using a fixed-effects or a random-effects model on the basis of heterogeneity. Publication bias was evaluated by using Begg's tests.

resultsWe identified four eligible trials involving 666 non-small-cell lung cancer patients in this meta-analysis. The results indicated that a high level of miR-126 played a favorable role in the overall survival (HR 0.73, 95% CI 0.61-0.86, fixed-effects model). There was no bias existed in this study.

conclusionsOur study showed that high expression level of miR-126 was a promising positive factor for OS for non-small cell lung cancer patients, and miR-126 might be a potential target for non-small-cell lung cancer therapy in the future.
