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

Growing evidence from recent studies have revealed that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) might be a useful prognostic biomarker for glioma; we therefore conducted the current meta-analysis to evaluate prognostic and clinicopathological predictive value of lncRNA expression for glioma patients. Eligible studies were identified through multiple research strategies in PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library up to May 2017. Pooled hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were utilized to calculate patient's survival. Fourteen eligible studies with 1415 patients were ultimately included in this meta-analysis. Our meta-analysis showed a significant association between high lncRNA expression level and OS in glioma patients (HR 2.09, 95% CI 1.68-2.58, P < 0.001). Subgroup analysis was conducted to explore the potential heterogeneity. As for clinicopathological parameters, lncRNA expression was significantly associated with tumor diameter (< 3 vs ≥ 3 cm, OR 0.39, 95% CI 0.27-0.56, P < 0.001; < 5 vs ≥ 5 cm, OR 0.56, 95% CI 0.34-0.92, P = 0.02), tumor grade (OR 0.21, 95% CI 0.13-0.34, P < 0.001), and Karnofsky Performance Status Scale (OR 2.52, 95% CI 1.54-4.11, P < 0.001). LncRNA may serve as a biomarker for prognosis and clinicopathological features in glioma patients.
