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

backgroundA plenty of previous researches have reported the prognostic value of CDC20 (Cell Division Cycle Protein 20) in solid tumors. Nevertheless, these researches were restricted by the small sample databases and the results were not strongly consistent among them.

methodsWe comprehensively searched these relevant studies by PubMed, Web of Science, and EMBASE, in which publications before March 2017 were included. Pooled HR values for OS were cumulatively pooled and quantitatively analyzed in the meta-analysis.

resultsHence we composed a meta-analysis based on 8 studies with 1856 patients in order to assess the potential relationship between CDC20 overexpression and OS (overall survival) in human solid tumors. There were a total of 8 studies (n = 1856) assessed in the meta-analysis. What suggested in both univariate and multivariate analysis for survival is that high level of CDC20 expression apparently pointed to poor prognosis. In the univariate analysis, the combined hazard ratio (HR) for OS was 1.75 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.07-2.86, P = .03). The pooled HR of multivariate analysis for OS was 2.48 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.10-2.94, P < .001).

conclusionsThe meta-analysis indicated that high level of CDC20 expression is significantly correlated with decreased survival in most case of human solid tumors. In addition, CDC20 shows promise as a meaningful prognostic biomarker and original therapeutic target, on the basis of its expression level in solid tumors.
