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

Galectin-3 serves an important function in cancer development and progression. The present study aimed to explore the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms in galectin-3, and the susceptibility to chemotherapy drug resistance of gastric carcinoma. The present study was a case-control study including 479 patients with gastric carcinoma and 458 cancer-free controls in a population from the Fujian province in Southeast China. Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry was used to determine the genotype of rs4644 and rs4652, and immunohistochemistry was used to identify the expression level of various proteins associated with chemotherapeutic drug resistance. The results revealed that individuals exhibiting the rs4652 CA/AA genotype had a significantly increased risk of developing gastric carcinoma compared with the rs4652 CC genotype (adjusted odds ratio, 1.51; 95% confidence interval, 1.05-2.18; adjusted P=0.03). In addition, it was demonstrated that there were significant differences in the P-glycoprotein expression level depending on rs4652 genotypic distributions (χ
