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

In the last few years, V-domain Ig-containing suppressor of T cell activation(VISTA) has been reported as a prognostic biomarker in articles including various solid tumours. However, their conclusions have been controversial. For this reason, we performed this meta-analysis to further verify the prognostic value of VISTA in solid tumours. All relevant literature was identified from PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library and Web of Science. Ten studies, including 2, 440 patients, were eligible for the analysis. The pooled results showed that high expression of VISTA was associated with favourable overall survival (OS) than that seen with low expression of VISTA (7 studies, hazard ratio (HR) = 0.75, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.66-0.86, P < 0.001). In addition, high expression of VISTA significantly correlated with high numbers of CD8 (+) tumour infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) (3 studies, risk ratio (RR) = 1.80, 95% CI: 1.41-2.31, P < 0.001). In conclusion, these results indicate that VISTA is a potential prognostic biomarker in solid tumours.
