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

backgroundAldehyde dehydrogenase 1 (ALDH1) has been identified as a cancer stem cell marker. However, the clinical role of ALDH1 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains conflicting. This study was conducted to investigate the correlation of ALDH1 with NSCLC patients' clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis.

methodsThe electronic databases were searched for the available literature. The pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) or hazard ratios (HRs: multivariate Cox analysis) with 95% CIs were used to evaluate the impact of ALDH1 on NSCLC.

resultsFinal 13 eligible studies with 2,407 patients published between 2009 and 2019 were identified. ALDH1 expression was not correlated with age, gender, smoking behavior, clinical stage, histological grade, lymph node metastasis, and distal metastasis, but the results demonstrated a positive association of ALDH1 expression with recurrence (yes

conclusionsALDH1 expression may be an independent favorable prognostic marker for DSS in NSCLC.
