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

A long non-coding RNA named HOXA transcript at the distal tip (HOTTIP) has been reported to be significantly increased in several cancers, including hepatocellular cancer, pancreatic cancer and lung cancer. However, the clinical value of HOTTIP expression in gastric cancer remains unknown. The present study aimed to investigate HOTTIP expression levels in gastric cancer and to elucidate its clinical significance. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction was used to assess the expression level of HOTTIP in gastric cancer cell lines and tissues. In a cohort of 94 patients with gastric cancer, HOTTIP expression was significantly lower in cancer tissues compared with the normal adjacent tissues. In addition, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to evaluate the diagnostic value of HOTTIP in gastric cancer, and the area under the ROC curve was 0.767. In conclusion, the results of the present study indicated that HOTTIP may be a predictive biomarker for gastric cancer.
