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

Recent studies have reported that long non-coding RNA SPRY4 intron transcript 1 (SPRY4-IT1) is abnormally expressed in malignant digestive tumors and associated with prognosis. But its clinical relevance is unclear. Here, we performed a meta-analysis aims to evaluate the prognostic value of SPRY4-IT1 in digestive system malignancies. We systematic search the PubMed, Web of Science, ScienceDirect and Wiley Online Library database to eligible studies. The pooled hazard ratios (HRs) with a 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were calculated to explored the association of lncRNA SPRY4-IT1 with prognosis. Five studies were eligible for analysis, a total of 518 patients were included. Meta-analysis indicated that overexpression of SPRY4-IT1 was associated with poor over survival (OS) (HR = 1.24, 95%CI:0.49-1.98; random-effects model). The clinicopathological parameters analysis further showed that increased expression level of SPRY4-IT1 was positively correlated with lymph node metastasis (HR = 1.45, 95% CI =0.88-2.02; fixed-effects model), TNM stage (HR = 1.24,95% CI = 0.78-1.70; fixed-effects model), and invasion depth (HR = 1.25,95% CI = 0.63-1.88; fixed-effects model). lncRNA SPRY4-IT1 may serve as a potential prognostic marker in malignant digestive tumors.
