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

aimTo study the effects of preoperative regional artery chemotherapy (PRACT) in inducing growth inhibition and apoptosis of gastric carcinoma (GC) cells.

methodsTUNEL (terminal-deoxynucleotidyl-transferase TdT-mediated dUTP-fluorescein and labeling) method and immunohistochemical techniques were used to detect the state of apoptosis and proliferation of GC cells in histopathologic sections. A total of 110 cases of GC and 68 cases of metastatic lymph node with or without PRACT were adopted. Correlations between apoptosis index (AI), proliferation index (PI) and PRACT and prognosis were analysed.

resultsThe apoptosis index (AI) was significantly higher in the PRACT group (12.5 +/-4.33 ) than in the untreated group (7.1 +/-3.43 , P<0.001), whereas the proliferation index (PI) in the PRACT group (33.8%+/-8.8%) was significantly lower than that in untreated group (43.6%+/-12.8%, P<0.01). Both AI and PI were correlated to the differentiation degree of GC in PRACT group, the AI in the differentiated group was higher than that in undifferentiated group (P<0.001), but the PI was lower in the differentiated group than that of the undifferentiated group (P<0.01). The AI of GC cells in metastatic lymph node was also significantly higher in the PRACT group (7.9 +/-3.41 ) than in the untreated group (3.6 +/-2.93 , P<0.01), though the PI of GC cells in metastatic lymph nodes in the PRACT group (17.2%+/-6.8%) was significantly lower than that in the untreated group (26.7%+/-9.3%, P<0.01). The severity of histopathologic changes was significantly higher in the PRACT group than in the untreated group (P<0.05). In addition, postoperative surveys demonstrated that the 5-year survival rate of GC patients in the PRACT group was significantly higher than that of patients in the untreated group (P<0.01).

conclusionPreoperative regional artery chemotherapy (PRACT) showed inhibitory action on the growth of GC cells mainly through inhibiting proliferation and inducing the apoptosis of tumor cells. PRACT can improve the progno sis of GC patients also.
