Abstract Background: An increasing number of studies have reported circular RNAs (circRNAs) as new potential biomarkers for the prognosis of gliomas. However, the overall prognostic value of circRNAs for glioma remains unclear. Therefore, this study is the first comprehensive evaluation of the clinicopathological and prognostic value of dysregulated circRNAs in the treatment of glioma patients. Methods: We systematically reviewed the online databases of PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library to identify studies that explored the relationship between circRNA expression and clinicopathological and prognostic factors in glioma through April 11, 2020. The quality of the included studies was evaluated by the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) checklists. Clinicopathological features were assessed by pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs), and overall survival (OS) was assessed by hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs. Results: Twenty-four eligible studies, including 22 studies of clinicopathological features, 1 diagnostic study, and 18 studies of prognosis, that included a total of 1390 patients were ultimately included in this study. Meta-analysis showed that highly expressed oncogenic circRNAs were significantly related to poor clinicopathological features (age: P = 0.026; tumor size: P ≤ 0.001; tumor grade: P ≤ 0.001; KPS: P = 0.012) and worse overall survival (OS) (HR = 2.01, 95% CI: 1.61–2.50, P ≤ 0.001). Moreover, we found that highly expressed tumor-suppressor circRNAs were related to better clinicopathological features (gender: P = 0.042; age: P = 0.014; tumor size: P = 0.022; tumor grade: P ≤ 0.001) and longer OS (HR = 2.70, 95% CI: 1.82–3.99, P ≤ 0.001). Conclusions: In conclusion, there is a significant correlation between the dysregulated expression of circRNAs and the clinicopathology and prognosis of glioma patients.
