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

backgroundGenetic variations in cancer patients may serve as important prognostic indicators of clinical outcome. The GNAS1 T393C single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) diversely correlates with the clinical outcome in cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential prognostic value of T393C-SNP in complete resected only surgically treated esophageal cancer (EC).

methodsGenomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood leucocytes of 190 patients who underwent only complete surgical resection for EC. T393C-SNP was correlated with clinic-pathological parameters, tumor cell dissemination in bone marrow (DTC) and clinical outcome.

resultsT-allele carriers had more advanced disease due to presence of lymph node metastasis (P < 0.0001) and DTC (P = 0.01) and higher recurrence rate (P = 0.01) compared to CC genotype. The disease-free (P < 0.001) and overall survival (P < 0.001) was better in CC compared to TT and TC patients. In the multivariate Cox regression disease-stage adjusted analysis the T393C-SNP was identified as a strong independent prognostic factor for recurrence (hazard ratio 1.8, P = 0.01) and survival (hazard ratio 2.5, P < 0.001) in EC patients.

conclusionDetermination of T393C-SNP preoperatively will allow allocation of EC patients into different risk profiles which may help to stratify patients eligible for neoadjuvant and or adjuvant therapy.
