Predictive value of excision repair cross- complementation group 1 expression in locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma receiving cisplatin-based concurrent chemoradiotherapy.
Article in Cancer biomarkers : section A of Disease markers, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
backgroundCisplatin-based concurrent chemoradiotherapy is recommended for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) at advanced stages. Excision repair cross-complementation group 1 (ERCC1) plays an important function in the repair of DNA damage that is a critical process of chemo- and radiotherapy.
objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the clinical significance of ERCC1 expression in NPC treated with cisplatin-based concurrent chemoradiotherapy in locoregionally advanced NPC.
methodsThe expression level of ERCC1 and its association with clinicopathological characteristics in 205 locoregionally advanced NPC patients receiving cisplatin-based concurrent chemoradiotherapy were analyzed retrospectively.
resultsThe correlation analysis revealed that the treatment-sensitive patients displayed dramatically lower ERCC1 expression than treatment-resistant cases did. Furthermore, the Kaplan-Meier plots revealed lower ERCC1 expression was significantly associated with better survival. Multivariate analysis further showed that the ERCC1 expression was an independent predictor of NPC patients' survival.
conclusionsERCC1 expression might be a useful predictive marker in patients with locoregionally advanced NPC receiving cisplatin-based concurrent chemoradiotherapy.
