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 deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) repair gene encoding the excision-repair cross-complementation group 1 (ERCC1) protein is known to predict the response to platinum-based chemotherapy. Our aim was to explore whether ERCC1 expression predicted tumor response and survival in patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer treated via platinum-based chemotherapy. We analyzed 32 such patients. ERCC1 expression was assessed immunohistochemically in pretreatment biopsy samples. Of the 32 patients, 13 (40.6%) were ERCC1 high. ERCC1-low patients exhibited a significantly higher response rate (73.7%) than did others (15.4%). The median progression-free survival differed significantly by ERCC1 status, being 135 days in ERCC1-high and 242 days in ERCC1-low patients (hazard ratio, 2.428; 95% confidence interval, 1.145-5.148, P = .032). Overall survival was significantly longer in ERCC1-low (617 days) than in ERCC1-high (320 days) patients (hazard ratio, 2.322; 95% confidence interval, 1.051-5.29; P = .037). Thus, pretreatment ERCC1 expression status can be used to predict tumor response and survival of patients with recurrent or metastatic uterine cervical cancer receiving platinum-based chemotherapy.
