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

Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) for markers on X chromosome are associated with malignancy in endocrine tumors of the stomach and pancreas. The aim of this work is to investigate low-grade, well-differentiated endocrine carcinomas (WDEC) vs high-grade, poorly differentiated endocrine carcinomas (PDEC) of the gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) tract for common deletion regions on X chromosome. We performed a comparative allelotyping analysis with 24 highly polymorphic markers for the X chromosome in 12 WDECs and 5 PDECs. Overall, the LOH frequency in all informative loci investigated was 59% in primary and 61% in metastasis, with a significantly higher rate in PDECs than in WDECs (p<0.015 for primary and p<0.00005 for metastasis). In both WDECs and PDECs, the small Xq25 region as defined by DXS8059, DXS8098, and DXS8009 markers showed higher LOH rate as compared to the rest of the chromosome markers (p<0.04). In addition, LOH was very frequently elevated also in DXS294 and in DXS102 loci mapping the chromosomal region Xq26. In no instances differences were found between primary tumors and metastases. Methylation analysis revealed that Xq25 loss preferentially occurred on the inactive X chromosome, a feature in agreement with findings from other human cancers suggesting escape of tumor suppressor genes to X chromosome inactivation at this region. Overall, our data indicate that the two chromosomal regions, Xq25 and Xq26, may participate to the malignant progression of GEP endocrine carcinomas.
