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

backgroundDysregulated circular RNAs have been implicated in the pathogenesis of cancer. Recent studies indicate that has_circ_0001649 lowly expressed in multiple types of cancer. The purpose of this study is to investigate the roles of has_circ_0001649 as a diagnostic and prognostic marker for Chinese patients with cancer.

methodsAdhering to preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses guidelines, systematic literature searches were performed using Pubmed, Embase, and the web of Science to retrieve articles fulfilled all inclusion criteria. The significance of has_circ_0001649 in diagnosis and prognosis of cancer patients were evaluated. Meta-Disc 1. 4 and STATA 12. 0 were used to analyze the data from collected studies.

resultsEleven articles with 761 patients were included in present meta-analysis, of which 4 were about diagnosis, 5 were about prognosis, and 6 were about tumor differentiation grade. For the diagnostic value of has_circ_0001649, the pooled results for sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio, and diagnostic odds ratio with their 95% confidential intervals were 0. 78 (0. 73-0. 83), 0. 75 (0. 70-0. 80), 3. 17 (2. 56-3. 93), 0. 29 (0. 23-0. 36), and 11. 41 (7. 80-16. 7), respectively. The area under the curve of summary receiver operator characteristic was 0.8408 (Q = 0. 7725). Meanwhile, the result showed no obvious publication bias in this analysis for the P-value of Deeks' test was .489. For the prognostic value, the pooled hazard ratio for overall survival was 0.45 (0.324-0.626). Lower expression of has_circ_0001649 was also prone to lower tumor differentiation grade (odds ratio = 2.58, P < .0001).

conclusionsHas_circ_0001649 could be used as a potential biomarker for diagnosis and prognosis in solid cancer. Further prospective studies are required to validate its clinical application.
