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

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are crucial in contributing to gastric tumorigenesis and development. However, the diagnostic value of the majority of lncRNAs in gastric cancer (GC) are not clear. The present study investigated the diagnostic value of gastric cancer associated transcript 2 (GACAT2), a lncRNA that is aberrantly expressed in GC tissues. A total of 343 plasma samples from 80 healthy individuals, 29 patients with gastric dysplasia (GD) and 117 paired preoperative and postoperative patients with GC were collected. Plasma GACAT2 levels were subsequently measured by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Finally, the associations between plasma GACAT2 levels and various clinicopathological features of patients with GC were assessed. The results demonstrated that plasma GACAT2 levels in preoperative patients with GC were significantly higher than those in the postoperative group (P=0.031). Compared with healthy individuals, plasma GACAT2 levels were significantly increased in patients with GD (P<0.001) and preoperative patients with GC (P=0.040). Moreover, the individual relative changes of plasma GACAT2 expression following surgery were significantly associated with lymphatic metastasis (P=0.034), distal metastasis (P=0.035) and perineural invasion (P=0.039). Therefore, the results of the current study suggest that plasma-based GACAT2 may be developed as a tumor marker to screen and predict the prognosis of GC patients.
