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

backgroundThe role of type I collagen, composed of collagen type I alpha 1 (COL1A1) and collagen type I alpha 2 (COL1A2), has been studied in several cancers. However, the expression of COL1A1 and COL1A2 in malignant, premalignant, and normal gastric tissues and their clinical significances in gastric cancer have not been elucidated.

methodsReal-time quantitative PCR was performed in 55 malignant, 27 premalignant, and 19 normal tissues to measure COL1A1 and COL1A2 messenger RNA (mRNA) expression, and the correlations between COL1A1 and COL1A2 expression and clinicopathological parameters and patients' survival rate were analyzed.

resultsWe found that COL1A1 mRNA expression was significantly upregulated in premalignant and malignant tissues than in normal tissues, whereas COL1A2 mRNA expression was significantly higher in malignant tissues than in premalignant and normal tissues. Moreover, COL1A1 expression was unrelated to clinicopathological parameters, while COL1A2 expression was positively related to tumor size and depth of invasion. Besides, higher COL1A1 and COL1A2 expression levels were related to lower overall survival.

conclusionsWe find that COL1A1 might have its potential as a monitoring factor to screen early gastric cancer, and COL1A1 and COL1A2 might predict poor clinical outcomes in gastric cancer patients.
