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

backgroundNumerous articles reported that dysregulated expression levels of miRNAs correlated with survival time of HCC patients. However, there has not been a comprehensive meta-analysis to evaluate the accurate prognostic value of miRNAs in HCC.

designMeta-analysis. MATERIALS AND

methodsStudies, published in English, estimating expression levels of miRNAs with any survival curves in HCC were identified up until 15 April, 2017 by performing online searches in PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews by two independent authors. The pooled hazard ratios (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were used to estimate the correlation between miRNA expression and overall survival (OS).

results54 relevant articles about 16 miRNAs, with 6464 patients, were ultimately included. HCC patients with high expression of tissue miR-9 (HR = 2.35, 95% CI = 1.46-3.76), miR-21 (HR = 1.76, 95% CI = 1.29-2.41), miR-34c (HR = 1.64, 95% CI = 1.05-2.57), miR-155 (HR = 2.84, 95% CI = 1.46-5.51), miR-221 (HR = 1.76, 95% CI = 1.02-3.04) or low expression of tissue miR-22 (HR = 2.29, 95% CI = 1.63-3.21), miR-29c (HR = 1.35, 95% CI = 1.10-1.65), miR-34a (HR = 1.84, 95% CI = 1.30-2.59), miR-199a (HR = 2.78, 95% CI = 1.89-4.08), miR-200a (HR = 2.64, 95% CI = 1.86-3.77), miR-203 (HR = 2.20, 95% CI = 1.61-3.00) have significantly poor OS (

conclusionsIn conclusion, tissue miR-9, miR-21, miR-22, miR-29c, miR-34a, miR-34c, miR-155, miR-199a, miR-200a, miR-203, miR-221 and blood miR-21, miR-148a, miR-192, miR-224 demonstrate significantly prognostic value. Among them, tissue miR-9, miR-22, miR-155, miR-199a, miR-200a, miR-203 and blood miR-148a, miR-192 are potential prognostic candidates for predicting OS in HCC.
