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

Exosomes are nano-vesicles transporting bioactive material between cells. This study explored the prognostic association of exosomal TGF-β1 with lymph node (LN) metastasis of gastric cancer (GC). TGF-β1 expressions in the exosomes isolated from the gastroepiploic veins of 61 GC patients analyzed by ELISA. The regulatory T (Treg) cells in celiac LNs of gastric cancer analyzed by immunohistochemistry. Exosomal TGF-β1 expression and the ratio of Treg cells in draining LNs were both significantly associated with pathological stages and LN metastasis of gastric cancer. Besides, the exosomal TGF-β1 expression and Treg proportion in LN were also significantly correlated in gastric cancer patients. Recombinant TGF-β1 and exosomes isolated from GC patients were used to induce FOXP3
