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

backgroundThe long non-coding RNA FOXD2-AS1 is highly expressed in non-small cell lung cancer and promotes malignant progression. However, the role of FOXD2-AS1 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is still unclear.

objectiveIn this study, we examined the relationships between the expression level of FOXD2-AS1 and the outcome of ESCC patients.

methodsExpression of FOXD2-AS1 was evaluated in cancer tissue and adjacent non-tumor tissue samples from 147 ESCC patients who received radical surgical resection using qRT-PCR. The correlations between the expression level of FOXD2-AS1 and patients' overall (OS) and disease free survival (DFS) were analyzed.

resultsFOXD2-AS1 expression was upregulated in ESCC tissue than that in adjacent non-tumor tissue samples (P< 0.001). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that high FOXD2-AS1 expression was correlated with poor prognosis in ESCC patients. Patients with a high level of FOXD2-AS1 had a shorter OS and DFS than those with a low level of FOXD2-AS1 (P= 0.005 and 0.0001, respectively). On multivariate analysis, the hazard ratio of FOXD2-AS1 expression was 1.66 (95% CI = 1.04-2.64, P= 0.033) for OS and 2.68 (95% CI = 1.49-4.82, P= 0.001) for DFS.

conclusionsOverall, our results provided convinced evidence that FOXD2-AS1 may serve as a predictive marker for ESCC patients' survival.
