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 explore the diagnostic and prognostic value of serum human kallikrein-related peptidases 11 (KLK11) level in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Serum specimens from 138 patients with NSCLC and 40 healthy controls were collected. The concentration of KLK11 was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The concentration of KLK11 in NSCLC was significantly higher compared to that in the controls (P<0.01). The serum KLK11 levels decreased with stage, presence of lymph node, and distant metastases, regardless of histology, age, and sex. With a cutoff point of 1.05 ng/ml, KLK11 showed a good diagnostic performance for NSCLC. Univariate analysis revealed that NSCLC patients with serum high KLK11 had a longer overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) than those with low KLK11 (HR of 0.36, P=0.002; HR of 0.46, P=0.009). Cox multivariate analysis indicated that KLK11 was an independent prognostic indicator of PFS and OS (HR of 0.53, P=0.042; HR of 0.48, P=0.037). Kaplan-Meier survival curves further confirmed that patients with high KLK11 have longer PFS and OS (P=0.003 and P=0.018, respectively). In conclusion, the measurement of KLK11 might be a useful diagnostic and prognostic test for NSCLC patients.
