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

The ETV6/TEL gene is a member of the ETS family of transcription factors that has been mainly studied in hematological diseases. This study provides the first investigation of ETV6 expression in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In this study, ETV6 expression was immunohistochemically studied in 170 consecutive patients with NSCLC. The association between ETV6 expression and clinicopathological parameters was evaluated. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate the effect of ETV6 expression on survival. ETV6 expression was observed in 135 of the 170 (79.4%) patients. ETV6 expression was positive for nuclear staining. From the clinicopathological standpoint, the expression of ETV6 was significantly correlated with age (P=0.014). The overall survival was significantly enhanced in the group with a low expression of ETV6 compared with the group with a high expression of ETV6 (five-year survival rates, 56.53% versus 29.88%; P=0.002), and the same finding was obtained for disease-free survival (five-year survival rates, 52.24% versus 30.47%; P=0.001). Multivariable analysis confirmed that ETV6 expression increased the hazard of death after adjusting for other clinicopathological factors (hazard ratio, 2.002; 95% confidence interval, 1.303-3.074; P=0.002). Our study demonstrated that ETV6 was markedly involved in the development of NSCLC and could serve as a potential prognostic marker for this deadly disease.
