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

aim of the studyGastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most frequent mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal system. We aimed to determine whether nuclear transcription factor κB (NF-κB), CD9 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) have prognostic value in patients with GIST. MATERIAL AND

methodsThirty-five patients with GIST, who were diagnosed in the Pathology Department of Erciyes University, were included in the study. Cases were classified based on the 2002 NIH consensus. CD9, VEGF, and NF-κB immunohistochemistry were applied to GIST cases positive for CD117 and CD34, which are used to evaluate GISTs immunohistochemically.

resultsAlthough there are no statistically significant differences between NF-κB (p = 0.329), CD9 (p = 0.269), and VEGF (p = 0.372) and risk groups, 79.22% of cases that stained positive for NF-κB, 81% of cases that stained positive for CD9, and 80% of cases that stained positive of VEGF were in the high risk group.

conclusionsIt was found that NF-κB, CD9, and VEGF, which are important in predicting behaviors of other malign tumors, were expressed at high rates in high risk group GISTs. This can be used to determine prognosis with tumor diameter, mitosis rate under 50 BBS, Ki-67 proliferation index and other parameters.
