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

Studies published in recent years have demonstrated that abnormal long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) antisense RNA to TP73 gene (TP73-AS1) expression is markedly associated with tumorigenesis, cancer progression and the prognosis of cancer patients. We aimed to explore the prognostic value of TP73-AS1 in multiple cancers. We comprehensively searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library (up to February 21, 2019). Hazard ratios (HRs), odds ratios (ORs) and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were calculated to estimate the association of TP73-AS1 with survival and clinicopathological features. The potential targets and pathways of TP73-AS1 in multiple cancers were summarized. Nineteen studies that involved thirteen types of cancers and 1329 cancer patients were identified as eligible for this meta-analysis. The results showed that high TP73-AS1 expression was significantly correlated with shorter overall survival (OS) (HR = 1.962, 95% CI 1.630-2.362) and disease-free survival (DFS) (HR = 2.050, 95% CI 1.293-3.249). The summary HRs of OS were 2.101 (95% CI 1.516-2.911) for gastric cancer (GC) and 1.920 (95% CI 1.253-2.942) for osteosarcoma. Subgroup analysis of OS demonstrated that the differential expression of TP73-AS1 in cancer tissues was a potential source of heterogeneity. Furthermore, increased TP73-AS1 expression was markedly associated with larger tumor size (OR = 2.759, 95% CI 1.759-4.330), advanced histological grade (OR = 2.394, 95% CI 1.231-4.656), lymph node metastasis (OR = 2.687, 95% CI 1.211-5.962), distant metastasis (OR = 4.145, 95% CI 2.252-7.629) and advanced TNM stage (OR = 2.633, 95% CI 1.507-4.601). The results of Egger's test and sensitivity analysis verified the robustness of the original results. High TP73-AS1 expression can predict poor survival and poor clinicopathological features in cancer patients and TP73-AS1 might be a potential biomarker and therapeutic target.
