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

backgroundThere are accumulating studies investigating the aberrant expression of microRNAs in tumor patients. As an important member of miR-17/92 cluster, miR-17-5 p has been identified as a potential prognostic factor for survival in tumor patients. We conducted this meta-analysis aimed to assess the effect of miR-17-5 p as a prognostic biomarker for gastrointestinal tumor patients. MATERIALS AND

methodsEligible studies were enrolled by searching the online databases of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and WanFang Data until September 2017. We calculated pooled hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CI of miR-17-5 p for overall survival and disease-free survival.

resultsIn the categorical variable analysis, we identified 11 studies with 1,279 patients. The pooled analyses suggested that overexpression of miR-17-5 p may predict poor overall survival (HR = 1.86, 95% CI: 1.55-2.25,

conclusionsThis meta-analysis suggested that miR-17-5 p has predictive effects on overall survival and disease-free survival of patients with gastrointestinal tumors.
