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

purposeGADD45 is a family of proteins involved in DNA damage response and cell growth arrest. GADD45G was identified as an interleukin-2-induced immediate-early gene, and methylation of GADD45G was studied in various tumor cell lines and a few primary tumor samples. High-resolution melting (HRM) analysis has been used as a novel tool for analysis of promoter methylation.

methodsIn our study, we used HRM analysis to detect the methylation levels of GADD45G gene in 100 gastric cancers, 100 colorectal cancers, 70 pancreatic cancers and equal number of adjacent normal tissues.

resultsThe frequency of GADD45G methylation in all three types of cancers was significantly higher than that in normal tissues. Consistent with previous reports, expression levels of GADD45G were inversely correlated with methylation levels. But we did not find significant association between GADD45G methylation status and TNM staging in all three types of cancers.

conclusionsIn summary, application of HRM analysis to large amount of clinical samples proves to be a fast and high-throughput way to investigate the epigenetic status of GADD45G. And this is the first study to evaluate the prevalence of GADD45G methylation based on large amount of tumor samples, showing that epigenetic regulation of GADD45G was associated with carcinogenesis.
