Meta-analysis of the prognostic value of long non-coding RNA PVT1 for cancer patients.
Synthesis in Medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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) is reported to be dysregulated in various cancers. Therefore, this meta-analysis was performed to clarify its utility as a prognosis marker in malignant tumors.
methodsElectronic databases, including PubMed, OVID, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases, were retrieved from inception to December 16, 2017. Typically, hazard ratios (HRs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated, so as to explore the relationship between PVT1 expression and patient survival. In addition, odds ratios (OR) were calculated to assess the association of PVT1 expression with pathological parameters.
resultsA total of 23 studies involving 2350 patients were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled HR suggested that high PVT1 expression levels were correlated with poor overall survival (OS, HR = 1.99, 95% CI: 1.73-2.28), disease-free survival (DFS, HR = 1.76, 95% CI: 1.45-2.14), and recurrence-free survival (RFS, HR = 1.74, 95% CI: 1.26-2.39) in cancer patients without obvious heterogeneity. Moreover, high PVT1 expression levels were also correlated with larger tumor size (OR = 1.47, 95% CI: 1.02-2.11), poor differentiation grade (OR = 1.79, 95% CI: 1.39-2.30), advanced tumor stage (pooled OR = 3.28, 95% CI: 2.46-4.38), lymph node metastasis (OR = 2.67, 95% CI: 1.66-4.29) and distant metastasis (OR = 4.00, 95% CI: 1.39-11.50) in cancer patients.
conclusionsFindings of this meta-analysis suggest that a high PVT1 expression level may serve as a novel biomarker of poor prognosis in cancers.
