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 purpose of this study was to determine whether lysyl oxidase (LOX) is a useful marker of metastasis in gastric cancer (GC) patients in combination with tumor markers carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen 724 (CA724), carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), and carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125). There were 215 GC patients (67 without metastasis, 102 with lymph node metastasis, and 46 with peritoneal metastasis) who presented to the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Guangxi Medical University between May 2009 and November 2012 that were enrolled in this study. The LOX expression level and the serum concentration of the four tumor markers were evaluated preoperatively. All patients underwent computed tomography (CT) and ultrasonography (US) before surgery. Statistical analysis, including receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, area under the curve (AUC) analysis, and logistic regression analysis, was performed to evaluate the diagnostic value of these markers in predicting metastasis in GC. For predicting lymph node metastasis in GC, the sensitivity of LOX, CEA, CA724, CA199, and CA125 was 44.12, 12.75, 21.57, 23.53, and 15.69 %, respectively, and increased to 79.41 % in combination. For predicting peritoneal metastasis in GC, the sensitivity of these markers was 56.52, 23.91, 34.78, 36.96, and 34.78 %, respectively, and increased to 91.30 % in combination. Combining LOX with CEA, CA724, CA199, and CA125 could increase the sensitivity of predicting lymph nodes metastasis and peritoneal metastasis in GC. Surgeons can use these markers to determine the best treatment options for patients. Additional large-scale, prospective, multicenter studies are urgently needed to further confirm the results of this study.
