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

purposeHelios belongs to Ikaros family, which plays an important role in the cell-fate decision and control cell proliferation; abnormal expressions in leukemia are associated with poor prognosis. In this study, we investigated the Helios expression between Helicobacter pylori infection and prognosis in gastric cancer patients.

methodsA total of 67 gastric cancer patients who received partial or full gastrectomies were enrolled. Helios expression by immunohistochemistry and mRNA was investigated with the clinical stage, Helicobacter pylori infection, CD4 expression, FoxP3 expression and prognosis.

resultsFrom the immunohistochemistry stain, we found that the Helios was expressed in both cancer cell and tumor-infiltrated lymphocytes. The high expression of Helios in gastric tumor cells had a better median overall survival rate in gastric cancer patients (50.7 ± 3.2 vs. 34.1 ± 4.9 months; P = 0.015), Helicobacter pylori-infected patients (51.1 ± 3.5 vs. 30.4 ± 5.1 months; P = 0.007) and advanced gastric cancer patients (42.1 ± 5.5 vs. 23.2 ± 4.8 months; P = 0.043). From multivariate analysis, the Helios expression in gastric tumor cells was an independent factor to predict better survival in all gastric cancers (HR = 2.78; 95 % confidence interval [CI], 1.09-7.09; P = 0.032) and advanced gastric cancer patients (HR = 2.85; 95 % confidence interval [CI], 1.00-8.13; P = 0.03).

conclusionsHigher expression of Helios in gastric tumor cells predicts better survival in gastric cancer patients, especially for Helicobacter pylori-infected and advanced-stage gastric cancer patients.
