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

Our previous study demonstrated that promoter methylation of human mutL homolog 1 (hMLH1) is involved in determining sensitivity to cisplatin in NSCLC A549/DDP cell line, The present study was designed to determine whether DNA methylation of hMLH1 affects the prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer patients who received cisplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy. Methylation status of hMLH1 was examined by nested methylation-specific PCR (nested MSP) in 84 archived NSCLC surgically resected tissue specimens from patients receiving cisplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to investigate the relationship between hMLH1 methylation status and the clinical prognosis of the patients mentioned above. In the cohort of 84 NSCLC cases, 80 tissue samples were successfully amplified by nested MSP. Among them, 36 samples (45%) were identified to be methylated. Moreover, hMLH1 methylation was not associated with age, gender, smoking status, T stage, histology and differentiation, but correlated with lymphatic metastasis (P=0.021). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that hMLH1 methylation may function as a significant independent prognostic factor for tumor recurrence in NSCLC patients treated with adjuvant cisplatin (HR 3.114, 95% CI 1.032-9.399; P=0.044). However, Kaplan-Meier method (P=0.093) and multivariate Cox regression analysis (P=0.598) revealed that hMLH1 methylation was not associated with the survival of these patients. To conclude, the cisplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy is more beneficial for NSCLC patients without hMLH1 methylation. hMLH1 methylation may have a potential to become a biomarker of individualized therapy for NSCLC patients.
