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

purposeTo improve the clinical outcome of patients with gastric cancer, intensified combination strategies are currently in clinical development, including combinations of more extensive surgery, (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. The present study used DNA copy number profiling to identify subgroups of patients with different clinical outcomes. We hypothesize that, by identification of subgroups, individual treatment strategies can be selected to improve clinical outcome and to reduce unnecessary treatment toxicity for patients with gastric cancer. EXPERIMENTAL

designDNA from 206 gastric cancer patients was isolated and analyzed by genomewide array comparative genomic hybridization. DNA copy number profiles were correlated with lymph node status and patient survival. In addition, heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) expression was analyzed and correlated with survival in 230 gastric cancer patients.

resultsFrequent (>20%) DNA copy number gains and losses were observed on several chromosomal regions. Losses on 5q11.2-q31.3 and 14q32.11-q32.33 (14% of patients) were correlated with good clinical outcome in univariate and multivariate analyses, with a median disease-free survival interval of 9.2 years. In addition, loss of expression of HSP90, located on chromosome 14q32.2, was correlated with better patient survival.

conclusionGenomewide DNA copy number profiling allowed the identification of a subgroup of gastric cancer patients, marked by losses on chromosomes 5q11.2-q31.3 and 14q32.11-q32.33 or low HSP90 protein expression, with an excellent clinical outcome after surgery alone. We hypothesize that this subgroup of patients most likely will not benefit from (neo)adjuvant systemic treatment and/or radiotherapy, whereas anti-HSP90 therapy may have clinical potential in patients with HSP90-expressing gastric cancer, pending validation in an independent dataset.
