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

aimTo evaluate the role of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) SNHG15 and its potential pathways in uveal melanoma (UM).

methodsThe SNHG15 mRNA expression level and corresponding clinicopathological characteristics of 80 patients with UM were obtained from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and further analyzed. The SPSS 24.0 statistical software package was used for statistical analyses. To investigate the potential function of SNHG15 in UM, we conducted in-depth research on Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA).

resultsThe univariate analysis revealed that the age, tumor diameter, pathological type, extrascleral extension, cancer status, and high expression of SNHG15 were statistical risk factors for death from all causes. The multivariate analysis suggested that the mRNA expression level of SNHG15 was an independent risk factor for death from all causes, as was age and pathological type. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis confirmed that UM patients with high SNHG15 expression might have a poor prognosis. In addition, SNHG15 was significantly differentially expressed in the different groups of tumor pathologic stage, metastasis and living status. Besides, the logistic regression analysis indicated that high SNHG15 expression group in UM was significantly associated with cancer status, pathologic stage, metastasis, and living status. Moreover, the GSEA indicated the potential pathways regulated by SNHG15 in UM.

conclusionOur research suggests that SNHG15 may play a vital role as a potential marker in UM that predicts poor prognosis. Besides, GSEA indicates the underlying signaling pathways enriched differentially in SNHG15 high expression phenotype.
