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

backgroundPrevious studies have reported that microRNA-21 (mRNA-21) has an effect on the prognosis of pancreatic cancer. However, the conclusion is still unclear. Therefore, this study will try to explore the effect of high expression of mRNA-21 on the prognosis of pancreatic cancer.

methodsRetrieved the database, including the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Chinese Biomedical literature Database (CBM), Chinese Scientific and Journal Database (VIP), Wan Fang database, PubMed, and EMBASE. Hazard ratios (HRs) and its 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to assess the prognostic effect of miRNA-21 on overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). RevMan 5.3 and STATA 16.0 software were used to perform the meta-analysis.

resultsThis study will comprehensively review and evaluate the available evidence of high expression of miRNA-21 on the prognosis of patients with pancreatic cancer.

conclusionOur findings will show the effect of high expression of miRNA-21 on the prognosis of patients with pancreatic cancer. Such studies may find a new prognostic marker for patients with pancreatic cancer and help clinicians and health professionals make clinical decisions. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The private information from individuals will not publish. This systematic review also will not involve endangering participant rights. Ethical approval is not available. The results may be published in a peer- reviewed journal or disseminated in relevant conferences. OSF REGISTRATION NUMBER: DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/2A6KJ.
