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

backgroundGenetic signatures may differ by histopathologic and anatomic subtypes of gastric cancer (GC). B-cell translocation gene 1 (BTG1) was identified as one of genes downregulated in GC tissues from our microarray data.

aimsTo evaluate the clinical implications of BTG1 expression in GC and the genetic diversity among GC subtypes.

methodsBTG1 mRNA expression was analyzed in GC cell lines and 233 pairs of surgical specimens. The mutational and methylation status of BTG1 in GC cell lines was analyzed, and immunohistochemistry was conducted to determine the distribution of BTG1. The pattern and prognostic significance of BTG1 expression were correlated with the three proposed GC subtypes.

resultsBTG1 mRNA was downregulated in 82 % of GC cell lines and in 88 % of clinical GC tissues. Promoter hypermethylation events or sequence mutations were not detected in GC cell lines. The pattern of BTG1 expression as observed by immunohistochemistry was consistent with that of its mRNA. Downregulation of BTG1 mRNA in GCs was significantly associated with shorter disease-specific and recurrence-free survival. Multivariate analysis of disease-specific survival identified downregulation of BTG1 transcription as an independent prognostic factor. BTG1 mRNA expression was more strongly suppressed in proximal nondiffuse and diffuse GC compared with distal nondiffuse GC, and subgroup analysis revealed that BTG1 downregulation led to adverse prognosis, specifically in patients with proximal nondiffuse and diffuse GC.

conclusionsAltered expression of BTG1 is a potential biomarker for carcinogenesis and progression of GC, particularly for proximal nondiffuse and diffuse GC.
