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

backgroundThe expression of S100A8 and S100A9 is found to be related with the survival of cancer patients, but the results and information regarding their prognostic significance are inconsistent in literature. This study, therefore, aimed to perform a comprehensive meta-analysis and determine the prognostic significance of S100A8 and S100A9 expression in patients with cancer.

methodsData were collected by performing a literature search on the PubMed, Cochrane library, and Scopus databases. Pooled hazard ratio (HR) with confidence interval (CI) was calculated to assess the correlation between S100A8 and S100A9 expression and survival in patients with cancer.

resultsIn total, 5 studies that enrolled 735 cancer patients were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled HR concerning S100A8 and S100A9 expression was 1.98 (95% CI: 1.20-3.29, P=0.008) for disease-free survival (DFS), indicating an association between high expression of S100A8 and S100A9 and poor DFS in cancer patients. However, the expression of S100A8 and S100A9 was not significantly correlated with disease-specific survival (HR 1.71, 95% CI: 0.86-3.40, P=0.128). DISCUSSION: The current meta-analysis revealed that S100A8 and S100A9 expression may be a potential prognosticator of DFS in cancer patients. The present systematic review is the first to investigate the survival outcomes of cancer patients with S100A8 and S100A9 expression.
