Prognostic values of long noncoding RNA in bone metastasis of prostate cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Frontiers in oncology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Introduction: Recent studies have shown that long non-coding RNAs are closely related to the occurrence and development of prostate cancer bone metastasis, and can be used as biomarkers to predict the prognosis of patients. Therefore, this study aimed to systematically evaluate the relationship between the expression levels of long non-coding RNAs and the prognosis of patients. Methods: The studies of lncRNA in prostate cancer bone metastasis from Pubmed, Cochrane library, Embase, Ebsco, Web of science, Scopus, Ovid databases were analyzed, and Stata 15 was used for meta-analysis. Associations between lncRNA expression and patients' overall survival (OS) and bone metastasis-free survival (BMFS) were assessed by correlation analysis with pooled hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Furthermore, the results were validated using GEPIA2 and UALCAN, online database based on TCGA. Subsequently, the molecular mechanisms of the included lncRNAs were predicted based on the LncACTdb 3.0 database and the lnCAR database. Finally, we used clinical samples to validate lncRNAs that were significantly different in both databases. Results: A total of 5 published studies involving 474 patients were included in this meta-analysis. The results showed that lncRNA overexpression was significantly associated with lower OS (HR = 2.55, 95% CI: 1.69 - 3.99, Conclusions: LncRNA can be used as a novel predictive biomarker for predicting poor prognosis in patients with prostate cancer bone metastasis, which is worthy of clinical validation.
