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

The metastasis suppressor gene nm23 located on chromosome 17 might be one of the targets in deletions of chromosome 17. In this study, we analyzed the expression of nm23 and chromosome 17 aberrations in gastric cancer and assessed their clinicopathological and prognostic significance. In 103 gastric cancer patients, we examined nm23 expression by immunohistochemistry and detected chromosome 17 aberrations by fluorescence in situ hybridization. There was a significant difference in the expression of nm23 among differentiated histologic types (well > moderately > poorly) (p < 0.01). Negative expression of nm23 correlated with depth of invasion (p < 0.01), lymph node metastasis (p < 0.05), lymphatic invasion (p < 0.05), venous invasion (p < 0.05), poor prognosis (p < 0.05), and chromosome 17 loss (p < 0.05). Chromosome 17 aberrations broadly correlated with clinicopathological variables and were associated with poor prognosis (p < 0.05). Univariate analyses identified nm23 (p < 0.05), chromosome 17 aberrations (p < 0.05), tumor size (p < 0.01), depth of invasion (p < 0.0001), lymph node metastasis (P < 0.001), hepatic metastasis (p < 0.01), peritoneal dissemination (p < 0.01), and lymphatic invasion (p < 0.01) as significant prognostic factors. Multivariate analysis showed that expression of nm23 and chromosome 17 aberrations were not independent prognostic indicators. Our results indicate that negative expression of nm23 and chromosome 17 numerical aberrations correlate with tumor progression and poor prognosis but are not independent prognostic indicators.
