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

objectiveDNA methylation is one of the mechanisms of epigenetics. Allelic loss located on chromosome 3p happen frequently and early in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The aim of this study is to detect the promoter methylation status of tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) located on chromosome 3p in NSCLC and to evaluate its correlation with clinicopathological features.

methodsA total of 78 paired NSCLC specimens and their adjacent normal tissues were collected in the study. Promoter methylation status was determined by methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (MSP). DLEC1 gene expression was determined by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry.

resultsAberrant methylation frequency of DLEC1, RASSF1A, hMLH1, RARβ and FHIT genes detected in 78 NSCLC tissues were 41.03%, 39.74%, 30.77% and 16.67%, respectively, which were all significantly higher than that in adjacent normal tissues. However, FHIT gene was not detected methylation in both cancerous and non-cancerous tissues. DLEC1 hypermethylation was associated with advanced stage (P=0.011) and lymph metastasis (P=0.019), while RASSF1A, RARβ, hMLH1 and mean methylation index (MI) were not correlated with any clinicopathological parameters. Moreover, DLEC1 gene downregulation was detected in 56.41% (44/78) NSCLC tissues and correlated with promoter hypermethylation.

conclusionsFrequent hypermethylation of TSGs located on chromosome 3p was a common event contributing to NSCLC pathogenesis and DLEC1 methylation was closely correlated with loss of expression.
