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

The aim of the present study was to investigate the expression of lumican in human gastric cancer and adjacent normal gastric tissues, and study its association with clinicopathological characteristics and survival rate. By using immunohistochemistry, the lumican expression patterns in 146 cases of gastric cancer with various clinicopathological characteristics 55 adjacent normal gastric tissue specimens was studied. And the significance of lumican expression regarding the biological behavior and survival of patients was evaluated. In adjacent normal gastric tissues, lumican was expressed weakly in 10.9% (6/55) of samples. By contrast, the lumican expression rate was 66.4% (97/146) in gastric cancer tissues. Lumican protein expression was closely associated with organ metastasis, lymphatic metastasis and histological type (P<0.05), but not with the tumor location, size, invasion depth or Borrmann type (P>0.05). The median survival time in patients with negative, weakly positive and strongly positive lumican expression was 46.3, 39.6 and 24.3 months, respectively (χ
