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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveThe CpG island aberrant promoter methylation in the tumor suppressor gene region plays an important role in the process of tumorigenesis. Relevant evidence shows that the promoter methylation of RAS association domain family 1A (RASSF1A) gene, a tumor suppressor gene, has a close relationship with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) development; therefore, RASSF1A may be a potential NSCLC biomarker. This paper discussed and summarized the relationship between RASSF1A gene promoter methylation frequency and NSCLC through meta-analysis.

methodsBy searching Medline, EMBASE, CNKI, and Wanfang database, we selected and collected the published articles regarding RASSF1A gene promoter methylation and NSCLC risk according to the marked inclusion and exclusion criteria. Through meta-analysis, combined odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) data were used to analyze the RASSF1A gene promoter methylation and NSCLC relationship.

resultsA total of 23 articles were utilized in this study. Results indicated that the RASSF1A gene promoter methylation rate was 41.50% (95%CI: 34%-49%) in NSCLC tissue and was 5.58% (95%CI: 2%-9%) for the control group. Compared with normal lung tissue, RASSF1A methylation frequency in tumor tissue was significantly higher than that of the control group (OR=8.72, 95%CI: 4.88-15.58, P<0.05). Subgroup analysis showed that the RASSF1A gene promoter methylation rate of tumor tissue was higher than that of plasma group (OR=10.99, 95%CI: 2.48-48.68) and normal control tissue group (OR=8.74, 95%CI: 4.39-17.41).

conclusionsThe rate of RASSF1A promoter gene methylation in NSCLC patient tissue samples was higher than that of normal lung samples, whereas the rate of RASSF1A promoter gene methylation in the tissue has more significant effect on lung cancer occurrence. This finding indicates that RASSF1A gene promoter methylation could be used as an NSCLC biomarker and was involved in NSCLC carcinogenic effects.
