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

aimThe exosomal programmed death ligand-1(exoPD-L1) has recently become a topic of interest in the field of oncology. But the prognostic role of exoPD-L1 in cancer patients is inconsistent across previous studies. Therefore, a quantitative meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the prognostic and clinicopathological value of exoPD-L1 in cancer patients. MATERIALS AND

methodsTwenty eligible studies were included in this study. The relationship between baseline level of exoPD-L1 and clinicopathological features, therapeutic response, overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) was evaluated.

resultsPooled analysis indicated that high level of exoPD-L1 was significantly associated with higher tumor stage, positive lymph node metastasis, and advanced TNM stage. Elevated exoPD-L1 was associated with short OS [HR = 1.80 (1.27-2.55),

conclusionexoPD-L1 is an original and effective liquid biomarker for cancer patients. However, large-scale, prospective investigations are still needed to confirm our findings.
