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

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been confirmed to play a crucial role in human disease, especially in tumor development and progression. Small nucleolar RNA host gene (SNHG3), a newly identified lncRNA, has been found dysregulated in various cancers. Nevertheless, the results remain controversial. Thus, we aim to analyze the comprehensive data to elaborate the association between SNHG3 expression and clinical outcomes in multiple cancers. We searched PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, and MEDLINE database to identify eligible articles. STATA software was applied to calculate the hazard ratio (HR) and odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (95% CI) for survival outcomes and clinical parameters, respectively. Besides, the data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset was extracted to verify the results in our meta-analysis. There were thirteen studies totaling 919 cancer patients involved in this meta-analysis. The results demonstrated that high SNHG3 expression was significantly associated with poor overall survival (OS) (HR = 2.53, 95% CI: 1.94-3.31) in cancers, disease-free survival (DFS) (HR = 3.89, 95% CI: 1.34-11.3), and recurrence-free survival (RFS) (HR = 2.42, 95% CI: 1.14-5.15) in hepatocellular carcinoma. Analysis stratified by analysis method, sample size, follow-up time, and cancer type further verified the prognostic value of SNHG3. Additionally, patients with high SNHG3 expression tended to have more advanced clinical stage, higher histological grade, earlier distant metastasis, and earlier lymph node metastasis. Excavation of TCGA dataset valuated that SNHG3 was upregulated in various cancers and predicted worse OS and DFS. Overexpressed SNHG3 was strongly associated with poor survival and clinical outcomes in human cancers and therefore can serve as a promising biomarker for predicting patients' prognosis.
