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

backgroundPlasmacytoma variant translocation 1 (PVT1) has recently been reported to be aberrantly expressed and serves as a prognostic biomarker in many types of cancers. However, its prognostic significance remains controversial. Here, we conducted a meta-analysis to investigate the prognostic value of PVT1 expression in cancers.

resultsA total of 2109 patients from 20 studies were included. The results showed that elevated PVT1 expression predicted a poor outcome for overall survival (OS) in nine types of cancers (HR = 1.40, 95% CI: 1.21-1.59). Subgroup analysis indicated that there was a significant association between PVT1 overexpression and poor OS of patients with gastric cancer, gynecology cancer and lung cancer. Furthermore, we also found a negative significant relationship between PVT1 expression and disease-free survival (HR = 1.83, 95% CI: 1.39-2.27), progression-free survival (HR = 1.63, 95% CI: 1.34-1.93) and recurrence-free survival (HR = 1.74, 95% CI: 1.01-2.47). In addition, the level of PVT1 expression was positively related to tumor size, TNM stage, lymph node metastasis and distant metastases. MATERIALS AND

methodsA systematic search was performed through the PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Ovid and Cochrane library databases for eligible studies on prognostic value of PVT1 in cancers from inception up to June, 2017. The pooled hazard ratios (HRs) or odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to evaluate the association between PVT1 expression and clinical outcomes.

conclusionsPVT1 expression positively related to tumor size, TNM stages, lymph node metastasis and distant metastases, and served as a prognostic biomarker in different types of cancers.
