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

backgroundTo study the prognosis-predicting value of a risk score based on phosphorylated At (p-Akt), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and Nin one binding (NOB1) expression in patients with resected non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

methodsA prospective cohort among 98 consecutive patients with resected NSCLC was conducted in 2009 to 2010. Immunohistochemistry was used in the detection of p-Akt, VEGF, and NOB1 expression. Any of three genes with positive expression was allocated a score of 1, otherwise scored 0. The risk score ranged from 0-3. Prognosis outcomes included overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Log-rank test and Cox hazard model were used to investigate the prognosis predicting value for the risk score.

resultsIn the 98 NSCLC tissue specimens, p-Akt, VEGF and NOB1 positive Expression rates were 42.9%, 66.3%, and 60.2%, respectively. The median for OS was 44 month, with 95% CI 35-51 months, and the median for PFS was 36 months, with 95% CI 25-49 months. Log-rank test showed OS and PFS related with TMN stage, lymph node metastasis, p-Akt expression, VEGF expression, NOB1 expression, and gene-based risk score (P<0.05). Multivariate COX analysis showed pTMN stage, lymph node metastasis, p-Akt expression, VEGF expression, and gene-based risk score were independent prognosis factors for OS and PFS. The adjusted HR for gene-based risk score with every one score increase was 1.21 [1.04-1.56] for OS and 1.19 [1.02-1.79] for PFS.

conclusionsOur results suggest the risk scores based on p-Akt, VEGF, NOB1 expression can predict postoperative survival in patients with resected NSCLC.
