CCAT2 and cancer: 29-17.96, p<0.001) in a random-effects model (I2=41.9%, p=0.16).Likewise,we also found that high CCAT2 expression could predict unfavourable overall survival with pooled hazard ratio (HR) of 2.23 (95 % CI 1.68-2.96, p<0.00001) by a random-effects model (I2=37.5%, p=0.143) and poor metastasis-free survival in cancer patients (HR= 2.08, 95%CI:1.37-3.18 p=0.001) by a fixed-effects model (I2=0.0%, p=0.807).
