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 aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between H-ras mutation and primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and to describe the role of H-ras mutation in carcinogenesis. Clinical samples of 69 patients were collected and the expression levels of H-ras in HCC and the surrounding normal tissues were examined using HotStarTaq PCR. H-ras mutation was further analyzed using the PCR direct sequencing method. The results showed that H-ras mutation was present in 49 samples (49/69, 71.01%), of which 19 had codon 40 mutated from CTA to CTG and 30 had codon 61 mutated from GGC to AGC. By contrast, only 2 mutations were found in the normal tumor-adjacent tissues. The H-ras mutation rate in the high-risk of metastatic recurrence group was markedly higher than that in the low-risk group (P<0.01). The H-ras mutation rate in patients with metastatic recurrence during postoperative follow-up was also significantly higher than that in patients without metastatic recurrence (P<0.01). Based on the above results, the H-ras mutation frequency in cancer tissues is markedly higher compared with that in normal tissues. H-ras mutation may play an important role in the genesis and development of HCC and may serve as a reliable marker for individual comprehensive therapy in HCC.
