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

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a type of cancer with a very poor prognosis. Although α-fetoprotein (AFP) is the most effective marker available to detect HCC, the sensitivity and specificity are not optimal. Therefore, there is a need for the development of more sensitive and specific methods that can supplement AFP in the early detection of this cancer. In this study, autoantibody responses to glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) were evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), western blotting and indirect immunofluorescence assay in sera from patients with HCC, liver cirrhosis (LC) and chronic hepatitis (CH), as well as from normal human individuals. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) with tissue array slides was also preformed to analyze protein expression profiles of GRP78 in HCC and control tissues. The prevalence of autoantibodies against GRP78 was 35.5% (27/76) in HCC, which was significantly higher than that in LC, CH and normal human sera (NHS; P<0.01). The average titer of autoantibodies against GRP78 in HCC sera was higher compared to that in LC, CH and NHS(P<0.01). When both autoantibodies against GRP78 and AFP were used simultaneously as diagnostic markers, sensitivity reached 71.4%. Our data indicate that anti-GRP78 autoantibodies may be potential diagnostic markers for HCC, especially in conjunction with AFP.
