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

objective"Excision Repair Cross-Complementation Group 1" (ERCC1) enzyme is a vitally important basic protein required for DNA repair. Recent studies suggest that ERCC1 is involved in resistance to antracycline-based chemotherapy regimens. In this study, we aimed to analyze ERCC1 expression in lung and esophageal cancer patients. We also aimed to investigate the possible correlation between the ERCC1 expression levels and patient demographic information. MATERIALS AND

methodsTwenty esophageal and 20 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients diagnosed between December 2009 and December 2010, via either endoscopic, bronchoscopic or tru-cut biopsy, were included in this study. The ERCC1 expression levels were analyzed by the reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RTPCR) method in RNA samples extracted from pathological biopsy specimens. The patient demographic information was also recorded.

resultsThere was no significant correlation between the ERCC1 expression level and demographic parameters, including the tumor, node, metastatis (TNM) staging, World Health Organization (WHO) grading, age, gender, hemoglobin level and albumin level, in the patient groups. The mean ERCC1 expression levels in the NSCLC and esophageal cancer patients were 0.71±0.85 and 0.62±0.78, respectively. The ERCC1 expression level was elevated in 15% of each patient group.

conclusionAnalysis of the ERCC1 expression in NSCLC and esophageal cancer patients prior to chemotherapy would be useful for personalized chemotherapy regimens and would provide more accurate prognostic information for the patient.
