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

backgroundGastric cancer is the fourth most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Gastric cancer is characterized by high levels of invasion and metastasis. Increasing attention is being focused on discovering molecular markers for the diagnosis of gastric cancer and for predicting its prognosis. The objective of the present study was to evaluate Nurr1 expression in gastric cancer and to assess its correlation with clinicopathological parameters and prognosis in gastric cancer patients.

methodsTissue samples were obtained from 120 gastric cancer patients. We investigated Nurr1 expression in human normal and gastric cancer tissues using real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), western blotting, and immunohistochemistry. We determined the association between Nurr1 and recurrence, prognosis and patient clinicopathological parameters. Univariate and multivariate survival analyses with a Cox's proportional hazards regression model were used to identify independent factors related to recurrence and prognosis.

resultsThe immunohistochemical, qRT-PCR and western blot analyses revealed that Nurr1 expression was increased in gastric cancer tissues compared with normal gastric tissue (P < 0.05). Nurr1 expression was significantly correlated with the tumor size, depth of tumor invasion, lymph node metastasis, recurrence, and distant metastasis of gastric cancer (P < 0.05). Moreover, Nurr1-high patients also exhibited poorer overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival compared with Nurr1-low patients (P < 0.01). The univariate and multivariate survival analyses suggested that Nurr1 expression (P = 0.011), histology (P = 0.018), depth of tumor invasion (P = 0.037), and presence of lymph node metastasis (P = 0.031) were independent prognostic factors for recurrence. In addition, Nurr1 expression (P = 0.007), depth of tumor invasion (P = 0.014), lymph node metastasis (P = 0.044), distant metastasis (P = 0.023), and recurrence (P = 0.011) were independent prognostic factors of OS in gastric cancer patients.

conclusionsThe Nurr1 protein may be useful as a marker of recurrence, metastasis, and poor prognosis following curative resection in patients with gastric cancer.
