Pooled analysis of prognostic value and clinical significance of Rab1A expression in human solid tumors.
Synthesis in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
backgroundThis study aims to assess the relationship between Rab1A expression and clinicopathological parameters and prognosis of patients with human solid cancer by summarizing the studies included.
methodsPubMed, EMBASE, The Cochrane Library, and other sources were searched for relative studies. The risk ratios (RRs) and confidence interval (CI) were used to assess association between Rab1A expression and clinical parameters and prognosis in solid cancer patients.
resultsEight studies were included in the final analysis with 800 patients. The results revealed that expression of Rab1A was significantly related with differentiation (RR = 0.883, 95%CI = 0.782-0.997, P = .044), lymph node metastasis (RR = 0.835, 95%CI = 0.753-0.926, P = .001), tumor-lymph node-metastasis (TNM) stage (RR = 1.190, 95%CI = 1.071-1.322, P < .001) and tumor size (RR = 0.818, 95%CI = 0.730-0.915, P < .001). What is more, no significant difference was seen in 1-year survival between high and low expression of Rab1A in multiple malignancies (RR = 0.855, 95%CI = 0.697-1.050, P = .136). However, increased Rab1A revealed poorer prognosis with 2-year survival (RR = 0.760, 95%CI = 0.701-0.824, P < .001), 3-year survival (RR = 0.669, 95%CI = 0.604-0.742, P < .001), 4-year survival (RR = 0.622, 95%CI = 0.554-0.698, P < .001) and 5-year survival (RR = 0.525, 95%CI = 0.458-0.698, P < .001). Expression of Rab1A was increased obviously in solid cancer tissues compared with the adjacent normal tissue (RR = 4.78, 95%CI 4.05-5.63, P = .015).
conclusionThis study revealed Rab1A expression links closely with tumor size, differentiation, lymph node metastasis, TNM stage and poor prognosis of human solid cancer patients. It may act as a biomarker of prognosis and a novel therapeutic target in solid cancer.
