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

SOX11 is a transcription factor that is normally expressed in the fetal brain and has also been detected in some malignant tumors, including mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). MCL is a mature B-cell lymphoma that characteristically expresses cyclin D1, which has been used as a diagnostic tumor marker. SOX11 has also recently emerged as a tumor marker for MCL, particularly in cyclin D1-negative MCLs and to distinguish between MCLs and other cyclin D1-positive lymphomas. In this study, we evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of SOX11 immunohistochemistry for the diagnosis of MCL using a meta-analysis. A comprehensive literature search was performed using the PubMED, EMBASE, and Cochrane library through May 9, 2018. In total, 14 studies were included in our meta-analysis. The sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve calculated from the summary receiver operator characteristic were 0.9, 0.95, and 0.934, respectively. Effect sizes of log positive likelihood ratios, log negative likelihood ratios, and log diagnostic odds ratios were 2.67, -2.12, and 5.27, respectively. Statistically significant substantial heterogeneity was observed for specificity (I2 = 95%), but not for sensitivity. Subgroup analysis and meta-regression were performed to explain the heterogeneity in specificity and showed that the proportions of Burkitt's lymphoma, lymphoblastic lymphoma, and hairy cell leukemia were significant covariates among studies using rabbit polyclonal antibodies. Overall, this meta-analysis showed that SOX11 was a useful diagnostic marker for MCL, with the clone MRQ-58 mouse monoclonal antibody showing particularly robust performance.
