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

backgroundHigh or low cholesterol levels can be perturbing. High cholesterol levels in the blood are associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease whereas insinuation of decreased cholesterol levels remains imprecise. Present study is to evaluate any relationship between the serum lipid levels and the cancer. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the alteration of serum lipid profiles in untreated mucosal cancer patients. MATERIALS &

methodsThe study sample consisted of thirty subjects (Group I - 10 gastrointestinal cancer patients, Group II - 10 oral cancer patients and Group III - 10 controls). Fasting lipid profile of blood was evaluated using spectrophotometric kits, with CHOD PAP technique. The values obtained were then statistically analyzed using ANOVA and student 't' test.

resultsBetween Group I and II, Group I comparatively showed more decrease in TC, TG, VLDL and increase in HDL & LDL. P value was significant in only TG. Between Group II and III, TC, HDL and LDL were decreased whereas TG and VLDL were increased in Group II when compared to Group III. TG, LDL, VLDL showed significant p values. Between Group I and III, the variables showed similar results as seen between Group II and III but only LDL showed significant p value. Among the three groups, only LDL showed significant p value (0.048). TC, TG, HDL and VLDL showed non - significant p values.

conclusionLower levels of lipid should arouse suspicion for cancer and necessary screening should be done. How to cite this article: Srinivas GV, Namala S, Ananthaneni A, Puneeth HK, Devi BS.
