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

Gastric carcinoma (GC) is one of the human cancers in which promoter CpG island hypermethylation is frequently found. We used the MethyLight assay to evaluate the methylation status of 16 CpG island loci that are hypermethylated in GC. We analyzed the relationship between CpG island hypermethylation of these 16 genes and the clinicopathological features in 191 advanced GCs. A significant difference was observed between the number of methylated genes in Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-negative and microsatellite instability (MSI)-negative GCs of different histological types (Lauren classification; P < 0.01). We found that mixed-type (MT) carcinomas, which have both diffuse-type (DT) and intestinal-type (IT) components, had more methylated genes (10.6) than either DT carcinomas (7.6 methylated genes) or IT carcinomas (6.7 methylated genes) (P < 0.001). This trend was also observed when EBV-positive or MSI-positive GCs were excluded from the analysis (9.2, 6.9, and 4.8; P < 0.001). When the IT and DT components were dissected from MT carcinomas and the methylation of these 16 genes was evaluated, both components had a number of methylated genes similar to MT carcinomas, (10.2 and 9.7, respectively), which was significantly higher than was found in IT and DT carcinomas (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that MT carcinoma is distinct from IT and DT carcinomas in its enhanced CpG island hypermethylation status and implicate the enhanced promoter CpG island hypermethylation in the histogenesis of MT carcinoma.
