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

We conducted a perspective study to investigate whether the expression of excision repair cross-complementing 1 (ERCC1), xeroderma pigmentosum group G (XPG), breast cancer 1 (BRCA1), and ribonucleotide reductase M1 (RRM1) is correlated with clinical outcome of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients with histologically confirmed inoperable stages IIIB and IV NSCLC were collected and followed up until January 2012. Relative cDNA quantification for ERCC1, XPG, BRCA1, and RRM1 was performed using a fluorescence-based, real-time detection method. Cox regression analysis indicated that a high level of ERCC1 was associated with shorter overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) times when compared with low expression, with adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) (95% confidence interval (CI)) of 2.25 (1.18-4.39) and 2.63 (1.33-5.25), respectively. High expression of BRCA1 was correlated with shorter OS and PFS times when compared with low expression, and the adjusted HRs (95% CI) were 3.29 (1.72-6.39) and 5.94 (2.80-13.06), respectively. Moreover, we found a significant correlation between BRCA1 expression and age (χ(2) = 4.14, P = 0.04) and stage (χ(2) = 5.26, P = 0.02). Our results suggest that ERCC1 and BRCA1 mRNA expressions are associated with PFS and OS in advanced NSCLC patients treated with platinum-based chemotherapy.
