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 present study was undertaken to develop a relatively quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in-house using human leukocyte antigen class II-restricted epitopes in order to test circulating autoantibodies to human forkhead/winged helix transcription factor (FOXP3) as a biomarker for esophageal cancer. A total of 97 patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and 227 healthy subjects were recruited for this study, and their plasma samples were collected for antibody analysis with the ELISA approach. Student's t test showed that the anti-FOXP3 IgG antibody levels were significantly higher in the patient group than the control group (t=6.23, P<0.0001). Based on a cutoff value determined by the mean+3SD of control IgG levels, the positive rate was 5.15 % in patients with ESCC as compared to 0.88 % in control subjects (X (2) =6.53, P=0.019, OR=5.85, 95 % CI 1.12-30.67), in which patients at stage I had the highest positivity (11.54 %, X (2) =12.15, P=0.0005, OR=13.10, 95 % CI 2.09-82.04). The sensitivity against >95 % specificity was 22.7 % for the IgG assay with an inter-assay deviation of 13.35 %. This work suggests that circulating IgG autoantibody to FOXP3 may be a potential biomarker for early diagnosis of esophageal cancer.
