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

So far, stomach-specific biomarkers, gastric cancer(GC)-related environmental factors, and cancer-associated biomarkers are three major classes of serological biomarkers with GC warning potential, joint detection of which is expected to increase the diagnosis efficiency. We investigated whether the combination of serum pepsinogens(PGs), IgG anti-Helicobacter pylori (HpAb), and osteopontin (OPN) can be used as a panel for GC diagnose. Serum was collected from 365 GC patients and 729 healthy individuals,furtherly 332 cases and 332 age- and sex-matched controls were selected for the matched analysis. Serum levels were measured by ELISA. Logistic regression and receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC) were used to assess the associations of biomarkers with GC and the discriminative performance of biomarkers for GC. The area under ROC from three-dimensional combination of PGI/II-HpAb-OPN (0.826) was significantly higher than two-dimensional combination of PGI/II-HpAb (0.786, P < 0.001), PGI/II-OPN (0.787, P < 0.001), and OPN-HpAb (0.801, P = 0.006), as well as one-biomarker of PGI/II (0.735, P < 0.001), HpAb (0.737, P < 0.001) and OPN(0.713, P < 0.001), respectively. The combination of PGI/II-HpAb-OPN, yielded a sensitivity of 70.2% and specificity of 78.3% at the predicted probability of 0.493 as the optimal cutoff point. Three-dimensional combined biomarkers assay could improve diagnostic accuracy for gastric cancer.
