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

Dendritic cell-specific intercellular adhesion molecule-3-grabbing nonintegrin (DC-SIGN), a member of the C-type lectin superfamily, has been reported to bind to various pathogens and several tumor cells and to participate in immunoregulation. It is still unclear whether there is a significant association between the level of DC-SIGN and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). To investigate the clinical diagnostic significance of DC-SIGN in NHL, we conducted a study with 52 NHL patients and 104 healthy individuals. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and tissue microarray technology were utilized for the analysis. The serum sDC-SIGN levels in the NHL patients were significantly lower than those in the healthy controls (P=0.0019). A cutoff value of 1.499 µg/ml for sDC-SIGN predicted the presence of NHL with 78.85% sensitivity and 53.85% specificity [area under the curve (AUC)=0.6531, P=0.0019]. The serum sDC-SIGN levels in NHL patients were also significantly correlated with β2-microglobulin (P=0.0062). Moreover, tissue microarray analysis demonstrated that the expression of DC-SIGN in the lymph nodes or tissues of 96 NHL patients was significantly lower than that in 18 normal lymph nodes (P<0.0001). However, the expression of DC-SIGN in NHL displayed no significant correlation with the expression of CD20 or CD79a. In conclusion, DC-SIGN may be a promising biological molecule for clinical research on NHL, whereas the underlying roles need to be investigated in additional studies.
