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

aimThe aim of this study is to evaluate the prognostic value of β-catenin and LEF-1 expression in patients with operable gastric cancer that receive adjuvant treatment and the relationship between demographic and histopathological variables. MATERIAL AND

methodIn this study, 82 gastric cancer patients treated with adjuvant treatment after surgery and followed in the Medical Oncology Department of Kocaeli University were included. β-catenin and LEF-1 expression were examined by immunuhistochemical analysis in paraffin embedded tumor tissues of the patients.

resultsMedian age was 56 (26-81) and follow up was 19 months (4-61). Performance status (ECOG) were 0-1 in all patients. Male/female ratio was 53/29 (64.6/35.4%). The median disease free survival (DFS) time was 17 months (SE: 3 95% CI: 11-23) and 3 years DFS rate was 39.7%. The median overall survival (OS) time was 28 months (SE: 4 95% CI: 20-36) and 3 years OS rate was 41.2%. There was no statistical correlation between β-catenin and LEF-1 expression and age, gender, performance status, tumor localization, T and N stage, lymphovascular, perinoral invasion, grade and operation type (>0.005). According to univariate analysis, we did not find significant effect of age, gender, T stage, lymphovascular, perinoral invasion, grade and operation type on overall survival (p>0.005). Good performance status (ECOG 0), tumor infiltration without diffuse type like linitis plastica, and lower N stage had positive effect on survival respectively (p=0.04, 0.033 and 0.005).

conclusionIn this study group, we found that only N stage was an independent prognostic factor (<0.005). Demographic features of the patients, histopathological characteristics other than N stage, β-catenin and LEF-1 prognostic effects have not been shown.
