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

CIP2A, cancerous inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A, was initially recognized as an oncoprotein. Recently several studies revealed that CIP2A could function as a prognosis biomarker, however, the result remained not comprehensive, partly due to small number of patients included individually. Here we carried out a meta-analysis of published studies to assess the prognostic significance of CIP2A in solid tumors. All eligible studies were identified through searching PubMed, Embase and Web of Science database. In this meta-analysis, 22 studies involving 4,579 participants were included, and we verified that CIP2A over-expression was significantly related with poor overall survival (pooled HR = 1.844, 95% CI = 1.528-2.225, P<0.001) and short disease free survival (pooled HR = 1.808, 95% CI = 1.591-2.055, P<0.001) in solid tumors. Additionally, subgroup analysis suggested that the trend of a poor overall survival with an increased CIP2A expression was present in East-Asian and European patients, as well as in lung cancer and colorectal cancer. To sum up, CIP2A over-expression was associated with poor survival in human solid tumors and might be a predictive factor of poor prognosis.
