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

In the present study, total nitrate and nitrite level (as end product of nitric oxide), superoxide dismutase activity, and glutathione peroxidase activity in leukocytes were determined in patients with gastric cancer, and the relationship between measured parameters and tumor grade were evaluated. Leukocyte nitrate and nitrite level was found to be increased and superoxide dismutase activity was found to be decreased in patients compared to controls. When the patient group was categorized, nitrate and nitrite level was found to be higher in patients with a high-grade tumor than in patients with a grade I tumor. We concluded that an increased level of leukocyte nitrate and nitrite is related to tumor grade in patients with gastric cancer; antioxidant activity is also impaired in these patients but it does not seem to be related to grade of tumor.
