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

The serum amyloid A (SAA) protein is an acute phase protein that is synthesized under the regulation of inflammatory cytokines during both acute and chronic inflammation. It is suggested that the SAA increases correlate with many types of carcinogenesis and neoplastic diseases. Th changes in SAA in serum could therefore indicate the progress and malignancy of the disease, as well as the host responses. The present paper reviewed the rationale of using SAA as potential cancer biomarker in clinical diagnosis, including the contribution and involvement of SAA in cancer growth and development. Then we discussed the current applications of SAA in diagnosis and tracing of different types of cancers. Finally the proteomics techniques, especially the SELDI-TOF MS to identify SAA in serum from patients were appreciated as an important manner in clinical diagnosis.
