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

backgroundIncreased expression of HOX transcription antisense RNA (HOTAIR) has been reported to be associated with unfavorable prognosis in cancer patients. Several studies have evaluated the significance of HOTAIR in the development and progression of gastrointestinal cancers (GICs).

methodsSystematic literature retrieval was performed by searching keywords in several electronic databases, including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CNKI, Springer, Google Scholar, and GEO. Relevant articles on association between HOTAIR expression levels and prognosis in patients with GIC were collected and screened with eligible criteria. The RevMan 5.2 software and Stata SE12.0 software was applied.

resultsA total of 1297 patients from 15 eligible articles were included in this meta-analysis. The results revealed that increased expression of HOTAIR was significantly associated with shorter overall survival (OS) in GIC patients [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.93, 95% CI: 1.64-2.26], as well as poorer disease-free survival (DFS) (HR = 2.79; 95% CI: 1.38-5.63). Additionally, the pooled odds ratio (OR) indicated that increased HOTAIR was associated with clinicopathological parameters, including lymph node metastasis (OR = 2.48, 95% CI: 1.71-3.61), distant metastasis (OR = 4.34, 95% CI: 2.12-8.91), poor tumor differentiation (OR = 2.90, 95% CI: 1.45-5.80), lymphovascular invasion (OR = 2.86, 95% CI: 1.83-4.46), high depth of tumor invasion (OR = 2.07, 95% CI: 1.36-3.16), and poor clinical stage (OR = 2.72, 95% CI: 1.70-4.35). In survival analysis through the Kaplan-Meier plotter database, enhanced level of HOTAIR was associated with better OS and DFS in gastric cancer patients.

conclusionsHigh expression level of HOTAIR was related to poor clinical outcome of GIC patients. The HOTAIR could be applied as potential biomarker for assessing the prognosis. Further well-designed studies should be performed to verify the clinical applications of HOTAIR in GIC.
