Abstract

The growth arrest-specific transcript 5 (GAS5) is a long noncoding RNA with low expression in multiple cancers. This meta-analysis aims to explore the association between GAS5 expression levels and cancer patients' prognosis. We collected all the relevant literatures about GAS5 expression levels associated with overall survival (OS), lymph node metastasis (LNM) and high tumor stage (II/III/IV) (HTS) from the PubMed and Web of Science. The hazard ratio (HR) and the corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated to evaluate the link strength between GAS5 and cancer prognosis. A total of 934 patients from 14 studies were included to the present meta-analysis, according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results demonstrated that low expression of GAS5 could predict poor OS in cancer patients (HR = 1.955, 95% CI: 1.551-2.465, P < 0.001). Meanwhile we also analyzed the following cancers independently: hepatocellular carcinoma (HR = 1.893, 95% CI: 1.103-3.249, P = 0.021) and urothelial carcinoma (HR = 1.653, 95% CI: 1.185-2.306, P = 0.003). Compared to the high GAS5 expression group, additionally, patients with low GAS5 expression in tumor tissues were more prone to lymph node metastasis (OR = 0.234, 95%CI: 0.153-0.358, P < 0.001) and high tumor stage (OR = 0.185, 95% CI:0.102-0.333, P < 0.001). In conclusion, this meta-analysis showed that GAS5 might be served as a novel biomarker for predicting prognosis in various types of cancers.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 23 November 2017.
All research outputs
#17,919,066
of 23,007,053 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Physiology
#7,235
of 13,760 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#235,550
of 329,244 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Physiology
#196
of 347 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,007,053 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 13,760 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.6. This one is in the 40th percentile – i.e., 40% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 329,244 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 23rd percentile – i.e., 23% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 347 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
