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

aimsTopoisomerase IIalpha (TOPOIIalpha) and HER-2/neu are chromosome 17q genes coamplified in various cancers; no data exist for Barrett's oesophagus (BO) and BO adenocarcinoma (ADC). The aim was to investigate gene amplification and protein overexpression of TopoIIalpha and Her-2/neu in non-dysplastic BO, dysplastic BO, Barrett ADC, and chromosome 17 aneusomy. METHODS AND

resultsForty-four patients [18 BO, 13 BO with dysplasia (five low-grade dysplasia, eight high-grade dysplasia) and 13 ADC in BO] were evaluated by immunohistochemistry and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Genes (HER-2/neu and TOPOIIalpha) and chromosome 17 were evaluated by FISH. Patients with BO, dysplasia and ADC were compared. A significant association was found between TOPOIIalpha protein overexpression and TopoIIalpha gene amplification, chromosome 17 aneusomy, HER-2/neu gene amplification and HER-2 protein overexpression as well as between HER-2 protein and HER-2/neu gene, TopoIIalpha gene and aneusomy for chromosome17, and between the genes TOPOIIalpha and HER-2/neu. Gene amplification (HER-2/neu, TOPOIIalpha), protein overexpression (HER-2/TOPOIIalpha), and chromosome 17 aneusomy were associated with dysplasia or ADC. Most BO patients showed no amplification/overexpression/aneusomy for the above genes, proteins and chromosome, with no differences between dysplasia and ADC.

conclusionsHER-2/neu and TOPOIIalpha amplification/overexpression might discriminate between BO and dysplasia/ADC. Chromosome 17 aneusomy is associated with dysplasia or ADC in BO.
