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

purposeThe study aims to find candidate probes of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for detection of lung cancer with bronchial brushings and to evaluate whether the accuracy of diagnosing lung cancer by cytological deviant and genetic abnormalities is greater than that of cytology alone.

methodsCentromeric enumeration probes (CEPs) for chromosomes 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, and 17 were analyzed using FISH in 74 surgical resection tissues, 32 operative margin tissues without tumor involvement of lung cancer, and 174 bronchial brushings.

resultsThe aneuploidy rates of the tested probes were 61.7, 89.1, 80.0, 92.7, 65.0, 70.4, 66.7, 71.8, 68.9 % in tumor tissues, and 29.3, 58.9, 33.3, 69.6, 67.0, 40.3, 38.0, 49.3, 35.1 % in bronchial brushings. The combination of cytology and FISH using the three-probe set for chromosomes 3+7+8 significantly improved the sensitivity of bronchial brushing examination for lung cancer detection (P = 0.00003), especially squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), which increased from 78.0 to 98.2 %. The specificity of the 3+7+8 probe set was 94.6 %. Moreover, a high aneuploidy rate of the probe set in bronchial brushings was detected more often in SCCs (P = 0.029) and late-stage non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (P = 0.044). Kaplan-Meier curves indicated that adenocarcinoma (ADC) patients with high aneuploidy rate of CEP3 in tissue samples exhibited poorer overall survival (P = 0.016).

conclusionsFISH performed on cytology preparations is useful for confirmation of cancer diagnosis. The three-probe set, 3+7+8, has potential value for the detection of SCCs in bronchial brushings.
