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

backgroundTo detect the expression of eIF3f and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Her-2)/neu in gastric cancer (GC), correlation with their clinicopathological parameters and the relationship of eIF3f and Her-2/neu in the occurrence and development of GC.

methodsA total of 195 gastrectomy specimens with stage I to III were examined for eIF3f expression by immunohistochemistry and for Her-2/neu expression by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with the median follow-up period of 38 months.

resultsThe positive expression rate of eIF3f in GC and adjacent noncancerous tissue were 33.8% and 59.5%, respectively. eIF3f levels were linked to more advanced tumor stages and likelihood of recurrence (all p < 0.05). The Kaplan-Meier survival curves indicated that decreased expression of eIF3f could serve as a prognosis marker for poor outcome of GC patients (p = 0.04). 15.9% of GC specimens were positive for Her-2/neu, but whose expression was of no correlation with patients' survival. Patients who were positive for Her-2/neu also had high eIF3f expression levels (p = 0.0295).

conclusionResults suggest that eIF3f may play an important role in recurrence, thus representing a promising predictive marker for the prognosis of GC. But Her-2/neu has no relationship with the prognosis of GC. The clinical significance of eIF3f and Her-2/neu remains to be further investigated.
