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

backgroundThe TNM Classification of Malignant Tumours (TNM) staging system is the primary means of determining a prognosis for gastric adenocarcinoma (GC). However, tumor behavior in the individual patient is unpredictable and in spite of treatment advances, a classification of 'advanced stage' still portends a poor prognosis. Thus, further insights from molecular analyses are needed for better prognostic stratification and determination of new therapeutic targets.

methodsA total of fifty-one fresh frozen tumor samples from patients with histopathologically confirmed diagnoses of GC, submitted to surgery with curative intent, were included in the study. Total RNA was extracted from an initial group of fifteen samples matched for known prognostic factors, categorized into two subgroups, according to patient overall survival: poor (<24 months) or favorable (at or above 24 months), and hybridized to Affymetrix Genechip human genome U133 plus 2.0 for genes associated with prognosis selection. Thirteen genes were selected for qPCR validation using those initial fifteen samples plus additional thirty-six samples.

resultsA total of 108 genes were associated with poor prognosis, independent of tumor staging. Using systems biology, we suggest that this panel reflects the dampening of immune/inflammatory response in the tumor microenvironment level and a shift to Th2/M2 activity. A gene trio (OLR1, CXCL11 and ADAMDEC1) was identified as an independent marker of prognosis, being the last two markers validated in an independent patient cohort.

conclusionsWe determined a panel of three genes with prognostic value in gastric cancer, which should be further investigated. A gene expression profile suggestive of a dysfunctional inflammatory response was associated with unfavorable prognosis.
