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

An increasing number of studies revealed that microRNA-22 as a biomarker may play a significant role in the cancer patients' prognosis, but the accurate prognosis value of microRNA-22 remains somewhat controversial. Thus, we comprehensively searched the database and performed this study to explicate the accurate value of microRNA-22 in the cancer patients' prognosis. This meta-analysis revealed that elevated expression of microRNA-22 correlated with good overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS)/progression-free survival (PFS)/recurrence-free survival (RFS) in cancers, while no significant association was found in metastasis-free survival (MFS)/distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS). Through the subgroup analysis for OS and DFS/PFS/RFS, we found that elevated expression of miR-22 significantly correlated with good prognosis in most subgroups, while it predicted a worse prognosis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma subgroup. And besides that, elevated expression of miR-22 was negatively correlated with TNM stage, lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis and recurrence, while no significant association was found between microRNA-22 expression and T stage, tumor differentiation, and lymphatic invasion. Our meta-analysis demonstrated that elevated expression of microRNA-22 predicted a good OS and DFS/PFS/RFS in cancer patients; meanwhile, its high expression also means earlier TNM stage, and lower likelihoods of lymph node metastasis, of distant metastasis and of recurrence. If we regularly monitor miR-22 expression in cancer patients, it might be useful for us to predict cancer prognosis in future clinical applications.
