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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveit has been proven that some molecular markers play important roles in diagnosis, clinical prediction and prognosis monitoring for lung cancer. The aim of this study is to investigate the expressions and their significances of vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) mRNA and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mRNA in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissues and lymph node tissues.

methodsthe expressions of VEGF-C mRNA and EGFR mRNA were detected in tumor tissues and lymph node tissues by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. The relationship and correlation between the expressions of VEGF-C mRNA, EGFR mRNA and clinicopathologic characteristics were analyzed.

resultsthe expressions of VEGF-C mRNA and EGFR mRNA in tumor tissues and lymph node tissues were significantly higher than those in control group (P < 0.05). The expressions of VEGF-C mRNA and EGFR mRNA were much higher in patients with lymph node metastasis than those without lymph node metastasis (P < 0.05). The expressions of VEGF-C mRNA and EGFR mRNA in tumor tissues and lymph node tissues were significantly correlated (r=0.834, P < 0.001; r=0.817, P < 0.001).

conclusionsthe overexpressions of VEGF-C and EGFR genes are closely related to lymph node metastasis. VEGF-C mRNA and EGFR mRNA are valuable biomarkers for early diagnosis, clinical prediction and prognosis for lung cancer.
