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

backgroundBone metastases (BM) are prevalent among lung cancer (LC) patients. Although some studies revealed associated factors for BM, each of these papers focused on a few factors. Few studies have identified the potential risk factors through a systematic review.

methodsWe searched through PubMed, MEDLINE, Web of Science, EMBASE, Cochrane Library and Cochrane Central Registerof Controlled Trials for literature from January 1990 to November 2017. The types of literature included case-control studies, cohort studies, randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews.

resultsFrom included 12 studies, we identified that lower blood calcium, T4 stage, N3 stage, P-stage III, nonsquamous, bone sialoprotein expression, elevated carcino-embryonic antigen levels were risk factors for bone metastasis in lung cancer patients.

conclusionWe identified that T4 stage, N3 stage, and positive bone sialoprotein expression associated with an increased risk of bone metastasis. Further studies are needed to assess these relationships and to establish the risk prediction model of bone metastasis.
