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

backgroundTumor-suppressor gene promoter DNA methylation in tumor cells is associated with its reduced expression. FHIT (fragile histindine triad) was one of the important tumor suppressor genes which was found hypermethylated in the promoter region in most of tumors. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between FIHT gene promother methylation and lung cancer risk by meta-analysis.

methodsBy searching Pubmed, CNKI and Wanfang, the open published articles related to FHIT gene promoter methylation and lung carcinoma risk were collected. The odds ratio (OR) and range of FHIT gene of cancer tissue of lung cancer patients compared with normal lung tissue, plasma and the bronchial lavage fluid were pooled by statistical software Stata 11.0.

resultsEleven studies were finally included in this meta-analysis. The median methylation rate were P(median)=40.0% (0-68.3%), P(median)=8.7% (0-35.0%), P(media)n=33.3% (17.1%-38.3%) and P(median)=35.9% (31.1%-50.8%) in cancer tissue, NLT, BALF and plasm respectively. The pooled results showed the methylation rate in tumor tissue was much higer than that of NLT OR=5.82 (95%CI: 3.74-9.06, P<0.05), but without statistical significance for BALF OR=1.55 (95%CI: 0.89-2.70, P>0.05) and plasma OR=1.41 (95%CI: 0.90-2.20, P>0.05).

conclusionsHypermethylation of FHIT gene promoter region was found more frequent in cancer tissue than that of NLT which may demonstrated association between lung cancer risk and FHIT gene promoter methylation.
