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

backgroundMicroRNA-135 (miR-135) is a well-known non-coding RNA that has been demonstrated to participate in tumorigenesis and cancer development; however, the clinical prognostic value of miR-135 in digestive system cancers remains controversial. This meta-analysis aims to explore the potential value of miR-135 as a prognostic marker for digestive system cancers.

methodsThe PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases were searched for eligible articles published before 31 August 2019. Stata 12.0 software was used to analyze the overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), and recurrence-free survival (RFS) rates to access the prognostic value of miR-135 in digestive system cancers. We then used The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) datasets to validate the meta-analysis results. Results A total of 1470 patients from 17 studies were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled results showed that enhanced miR-135 expression was significantly associated with poor OR (hazard ratio (HR): 1.790; 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 1.577-2.031; P=0.000), DFS (HR: 1.482; 95% CI: 0.914-2.403; P=0.110), and RFS (HR: 3.994; 95% CI: 1.363-11.697; P=0.012) in digestive system cancers. A sensitivity analysis confirmed the reliability of our findings, and no significant publication bias was observed.

conclusionMiR-135 can be used as a novel biomarker for patients with digestive system cancers. We look forward to future large-scale clinical studies that will investigate the prognostic value of miR-135.
