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

BACKGROUND/

aimsThe function of regulatory T cells (Treg) and helper T cells 17 (Th17) related indexes, such as interleukin (IL)-6, IL-17, transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1, and forkhead box protein 3(FoxP3) in gastric adenocarcinoma tissues remains undefined. We investigated and analyzed the relevance of the proteins with the clinicopathological characteristics and the interactions among them in gastric cancer. MATERIALS AND

methodsA total 68 gastric cancer patients and 40 healthy controls were enrolled. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) as well as quantitative real-time reverse transcription- polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to determine the expression levels of IL-6, TGF-β1, IL-17, and FoxP3 in the prepared tissues. Statistical analysis included ANOVA and chi-square test.

resultsThe expression levels of IL-6, IL-17, FoxP3, and TGF-β1 had significantly increased in cancer tissues compared to controls. Clinical staging of gastric cancer were correlated with the rise of IL-6, IL-17, FoxP3, and TGF-β1 levels expressed in cancer tissues. The expression level of TGF-β1 and IL-6 was positively related to that of IL-17 and FoxP3, similar to FoxP3 and IL-17 in gastric cancer tissues.

conclusionIL-6, TGF-β1, FoxP3, and IL-17 may promote the progression of gastric cancer individually or jointly and have complex interactions.
