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

G protein-coupled receptor, family C, group 5, member A (GPRC5A) had received attentions for its role in carcinogenesis and prognostic values in several types of cancer. However, the functional roles of GPRC5A in gastric cancer (GC) had never been elucidated. The expression levels of GPRC5A were detected by real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR and Western blot in GC tissues and adjacent non-tumor tissues. GPRC5A expression in tissue sections of 106 GC samples was evaluated using immunohistochemistry. The staining results were compared with clinicopathological factors and to the prognosis of GC patients. The mRNA and protein expression levels of GPRC5A in gastric cancer tissues were higher than those in adjacent non-tumor tissues. Positive GPRC5A expression was significantly correlated with larger size of primary tumor, diffuse type (Lauren's classification), deeper serosal invasion, and more lymph node metastasis. In addition, Kaplan-Meier curve analysis demonstrated that GC patients with positive GPRC5A expression had poor prognosis than those with negative GPRC5A expression. GPRC5A expression was identified as an independent factor of the overall survival in GC patients by multivariate Cox analysis. Further, the overall survival difference existed between patients with GPRC5A positive and negative groups in GC patients with lymph node metastasis. Our results suggested that elevated levels of GPRC5A played significant roles in GC progression. GPRC5A could serve as a prognostic biomarker of GC.
