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

purposeThere is an urgent need to identify biomarkers for early diagnosis and prognosis of esophageal cancer. The present study was undertaken to test whether circulating autoantibodies to ATP-binding cassette C3 (ABCC3) transporter could serve as a biomarker for the malignant tumor.

methodsAn enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay approach was developed in-house to test circulating autoantibodies to ABCC3 in 114 patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and 226 healthy subjects well matched in age and smoking history.

resultsMann-Whitney U test showed that the IgA antibody levels were significantly higher in patients with ESCC than control subjects (Z = -4.226, P < 0.001) while the IgG antibody levels were not significantly different between the two groups (Z = -1.072, P = 0.284). The sensitivity against >95 % specificity was 13.2 % for the IgA assay with an inter-assay deviation of 13.0 and 7.9 % for the IgG assay with an inter-assay deviation of 9.4 %.

conclusionsThis work suggests that circulating IgA autoantibody to ABCC3 may be a potential biomarker for ESCC, which could be used for early diagnosis and prognosis of the malignant tumor.
