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

Nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB is a transcription factor constitutively activated in various neoplasms, including gastric carcinoma. However, its clinical significance in the latter remains an unresolved issue, as published information is limited and controversial. Furthermore, no data is available about the interaction of NF kappaB with its inhibitory protein I kappaB a in gastric carcinoma cases. In this study, the expression of NF kappaB 1/p50 and p I kappaB a protein was evaluated immunohistochemically in paraffin-embedded tissues from 93 patients. The effect of NF kappaB 1/p50 and p I kappaB a on clinical outcome was assessed. Positive immunostaining was detected for nuclear NF kappaB 1/p50, cytoplasmic NF kappa B1/p50 and p I kappaB a in 91, 68 and 85.7% of cases, respectively. A positive correlation emerged between nuclear NF kappa B 1/p50 and p I kappaB a (p < 0.0001) and a negative one between cytoplasmic NF kappaB 1/p50 and p I kappaB a (p = 0.0033). Nuclear NF kappaB 1/p50 was associated with stage (p = 0.0388), the depth of invasion (p = 0.0382), World Health Organization (WHO; p = 0.0326) and Lauren's histological classification (p = 0.0046). NF kappaB 1/p50 nuclear expression adversely affected survival in both univariate and multivariate analysis (p < 0.0001 and p = 0.02, respectively). Our results suggest that NF kappaB 1/p50 nuclear expression and therefore activation is regulated by its interaction with I kappaB a and that the former may serve as a useful independent molecular marker for stratifying patients with gastric carcinoma in terms of prognosis.
