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

backgroundCancer initiation and progression are accompanied by profound changes in DNA. DNA methylation that was the first epigenetic alterations identified in cancer. DNA hypermethylation at promoter sites is closely associated with down regulation of protein and as major participant in the development and progression of series of human tumors. Therefore we hypothesized that promoter hypermethylation of

methodsA hospital based case-control study; including 200 GC cases and 200 matched controls from patients who went surgical resection. Promoter hypermethylation was determined by Methylation Specific Polymerase chain reaction. The expression of MGMT & RASSF1A protein was examined by Western blotting technique.

resultsFrequency of promoter region hypermethylation of

conclusionsThese findings indicate that promoter hypermethylation at CpG island may be responsible for reduction of expression at protein level which may be an initial event in carcinogenesis and the progression of GC.
